.... It's A Mystery To Me Too
I called this quilt "It's a Mystery To Me Too" which is a play on words, since it is the second mystery quilt I have designed. (Yes, I can hear you groaning, but that's about typical of my sense of humour, sorry.) This one was published in a British quilt magazine in 4 installments, which was exciting for me, both to see my design in print and to see the quilts that readers made from the instructions.
I designed and made this quilt in 2007. As I made it using a range of Christmas fabrics, I decided to quilt it with an all-over holly leaf and berry design.
I hope you're all enjoying seeing all the quilts in this Quilt Festival, and I would like to say thanks to Amy for organizing it.
One of my favourites - lovely to see it again
ReplyDeleteHey Sue, good to see you are at the BQF too. I think we met through one of this festival? Lovely entry - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteGreat vibrant quilt design. Its a lovely fabric combination you have used.
ReplyDeleteThat's just beautiful! It must be such a thrill to see others making a quilt that you designed! Cool.
ReplyDeleteStunning quilt, Sue. A great design, thanks for showing it.
ReplyDeleteI love the holly choice for the quilting!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful quilt and I love your sense of humor. Or as you spell it humour. Whatever way you spell it, you're a "hoot" as we say here in the States. I also like the lighter quilting thread so you can see the wonderful holly leaves. Your quilts inspire me Sue.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Blog, even if it isn't about the Quit Festival, a Design Wall Monday. Nice that you share your design with others. I agree the Holly is the perfect quilting motif.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, I remember seeing it in print

great quilt, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI've always worried about making a mystery quilt. After all what if I didn't like it? Now yours puts mystery quilts in a whole new beautiful light - which is a real switch because I've seen some uglies! I know an ugly quilt - it's nearly unheard of.
ReplyDeleteThis looks stunning. I love the close up photo of the quilting pattern. Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteI love how the design is on point and how it floats into the border. It is a wonderful design. The holly leaf quilting looks superb.
Thanks for sharing your terrific mystery design. Enjoy the festival...
Warmest regards,
Anna
