I did some patching of worn spots on this quilt, and mended an area with a hole through all three layers. But that's not why I decided to write about it. I just really, really like this quilt. To my eyes, it's a totally successful design.
Sometimes, to help myself learn what makes a successful quilt design, I like to play this little game. I imagine how the quilt might look if the borders were different, or if it was not bordered at all, or if the blocks were set differently, or if the coloring was changed. I can't find any changes that would improve this quilt for me. When that happens, I know I've found a quilt I really like.
