I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

There is no need for stabilizer in my opinion. Alex told me using a hoop will be sufficient to keep the stitches flat. Think...

I finished my It's a Mystery to Me Kaffe quilt, but since it was a mystery to me also, I titled it "A Mystery to Me Squared". Since I am already a perfectionist at heart, my challenge was to make the blocks wonky, a la Jan Mullens or Mary Lou Weidman. The backgrounds are all white with black polka dots and the slices through the Kaffe Brassica are all black/white stripes. Believe me, it was a challenge to think outside the box and let go, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
My only disappointment was that it finished out as a square. It sure didn't appear to be that way up on my design wall in diagonal rows. I quilted it in straight lines on the diagonal in the direction of the flow of the slices, but left 6 blocks to custom quilt.
Thank you, Alex!

Today I worked on the layout for my quilt (tomorrow I go back to work ...I work in the office at a high school) so I won't have much time for quilting except on the weekends. I like it so far but want to make it bigger so I am not sure where I will go from here.
I am enjoying seeing all the layouts here in the forum. You are all so creative!Deborah W

Thank you, Quiltgrubby! The side-setting triangles are actually a soft blue Grunge fabric. I was going to use the white (also a Grunge with streaks of green) but didn't have enough...so I used my blue. In person, all the colors are really beautiful together, thanks to Kaffe and Alex!Deborah W
