1) Alycia Quilts "Big Star Country" - Flimsy is together and ready for longarming if I can find a backing. My sewing machine died in the middle of the assembly, so I had to suffer through Sewing Withdrawal Syndrome (SWS) for a week while it was being repaired. As soon as it came home I finished up this flimsy.
2) Kevin the Quilter - Ready for clue #3 to arrive next week.
3) EvaPaige Quilts "In the 'Hood" - Final reveal came today.
4) Meadow Mist Designs "Magnolia Mystery" - The fabrics I purchased originally just didn't excite me. Instead I found a black print (not the solid shown below) and some leftover blush-colored print to mix with my teals and background white-on-white print. There are lots of others who posted their fabric selection on Facebook which make me second guess my own. But I decided these colors felt right and I went ahead and cut my fabrics.
4.5) En Provence - Lots of quilters have posted their final versions which gave me ideas on how to alter the design slightly to make it my own. Here is a view of how my version is progressing. I am planning on 12 of the large blocks and will put solid pink centers on the stars to make them stand out. Bonnie Hunter designed this quilt and I really like it. But as you know, Bonnie's quilts require a LOT of sewing!
And I assembled a quick baby quilt for a friend. It's quick and easy! I'm planning on a fairly simply FMQ of half-inch spaced lines with an occasional daisy.
What projects or mystery quilts are you sewing?
My sewing list looks very much like yours. Congrats! on your completed A6 Mystery quilt top. Nicely done!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I see you are working on Kevin's Sapphire Stars, too. It's been fun to dig through all my scraps. There was more variety than I expected. I can't wait to see how his mystery turns out.
DeleteWay to go Susan! Your version of Big Star Country uses the same colors I chose.......yours looks so clean and sleek! Your Sapphire Stars units looks WONDERFUL! Hope you are enjoying all of the mysteries!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kevin. I am definitely enjoying the mystery as each design unfolds.
DeleteWowser!!! It looks so great!!! and your Sapphire stars is great too!
ReplyDeleteYour design is great for a QOV project. I am now thinking about how to quilt it. I add a few more stars in the background as part of the quilting motif.
DeleteI really like your A6! I posted mine, but I have to fix a BIG mistake.
ReplyDeleteMy seam ripper is getting dull because of its heavy use (LOL). Hope all goes well with your fix.
DeleteI don't think it's crazy at all. It's really fun to participate in well organized mystery quilt alongs, and these are all at different stages. I hope you enjoy them all. :)
ReplyDeleteTwo of the mysteries are done and I finished the flimsies quickly, so it isn't so busy. The other two are keeping me intrigued - and they are monthly clues. Thanks for visiting my blog. I am starting to use the thread tail hint you posted on your blog.
