Good Fortune! Bonnie Hunter Mystery 2018 Top Finished

Top finished!!  and I love the result.
I almost left off the last border because I wasn't sure it added to my quilt, but a friend suggested I keep it to bring out the violet fabrics.

This is the 2018 Mystery from Bonnie Hunter.  Quiltville.com
Started:  Friday, November 23.
Top finished:  Sunday, January 6.

Go here to see what others have done for their mystery.

I changed the direction of the half-square triangle border.

The red blends too much with the brown background, but 
that's what happens with a mystery.  You don't know the
pattern in advance so the final quilt is a surprise!

This shows the original color palette Bonnie
suggested and the fabrics I chose to use.
She used light neutrals for her background.
Thanks for checking in.

    I like your colors, on yours the last border works, doesn't seem too much as on some.
