Mystery Quilt Completion!

For many years I had admired the Quiltville Mystery Quilts

and way back in 2014 I decided to be join in the fun.

Surely I could collect the clues each week and keep up, right.

 

 

The timing was perfect as they started at the end of the year

when I had some down time. I did manage to complete part of each clue.

 

 

But after Christmas it was packed away in a box, along with all the fabrics

as I could no longer commit any more time.

 

 

Each year when the new mystery quilt started the same thing would happen.

Start each clue, then pack it away.

 

 

Due to circumstances this year with the

global pandemic of covid 19 and being in lockdown.

It seemed the perfect time to open these boxes and complete

at least one before the commencement of this years.

 

 

A few changes to the layout of mine, due to incorrect cutting

and a determination to use what I had cut and a slightly smaller size.

 

 

Really love how this has turned out, the colours are so vibrant.

Quilt top completed, binding made and backing ready for when I can get it to the quilters.

All of the remaining fabrics can now go back into the stash,

the box of fabrics looks just as full as when I started.

 

 

On a mission now to see if I can finish another this year

before the start of the new one for this year.

Mystery Revealed!

 

A great sunrise a couple of days ago,

with dark clouds and a red sky.

Reminded me of the old saying

 ‘Red sky at  night Shepard’s delight.

red sky in the morning Shepard’s warning’.

How true it is, half an hour into our walk and it started to rain

and rain and rain and rain.

Quite a relieve after all the hot weather we’ve had.

Mystery quilt has been revealed, with many participants

staying up sewing to complete their quilts.

At the moment all I have time for,

is to lay mine out to see the possibilities.

The first, is the layout per instructions.

 

En Provence Finale1

 

As my lighter purples are a little too light,

they tend to run into my neutrals. (light grey)

I turned my purple four patch blocks around to reveal the second pic.

 

En Provence Finale2

 

I’m tempted to go with the second choice.

Allietare Mystery!

Progress this week towards the Allietare Mystery

has been a little slower.

I have managed to half complete the four patch blocks.

I did get a little sidetracked again,

making some more string blocks.

Which are starting to mount up.

And these miniature blocks too.

So cute.
