Denise Zapf of Quilting MoJo did the longarming for me. I asked her to pick the pantograph and thread. I like the way the quilting shows up on the border. The thread is a variegated blue.
Frolic was Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt last fall. Mine is a little different from hers. She wanted us to keep track of pieces so that the overall quilt would be scrappy but each block would have the same color star points. That was too much work for me. I didn't do any matching and keeping track of pairs. I also changed the colors. I'm getting better at picking colors that will work in a mystery quilt. Some of my earlier mysteries have odd color combinations.
This quilt is 91" x 91" and will either be a wedding quilt for a friend's daughter or a gift for my husband's aunt and uncle. We have too many quilts in our house!

I love the look of your Frolic. I hadn't quite noticed that you had mixed up all the fabrics rather than keeping them in sets, and I think that is why I love the look of yours - the mixture of fabrics in each star makes them sparkle.
What a beautiful finish--love the colors you used! I think this is my favorite Frolic of all I have seen!
What a great finish - your colors are fab and I hope the final recipients will love it!
