This is a mystery quilt that was offered by Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs. This is the 2nd mystery I’ve done of hers and I have LOVED doing each one. I know that some of you highly dislike doing mystery quilts, but she offers to give you a sneak peak – so you’re not totally doing a mystery. However, since I LOVE mystery quilts, I do it as a mystery! No peeking for me.
Cheryl’s directions are very clear and easy to follow! Here’s a few of the progress pictures of this mystery:




The fabric all came from my stash. As did the backing fabric. It has Hobbs 80/20 batting and I used Glide thread (Mercury) to quilt it. The binding is the medium blue print.
And the completed quilt! (And yes, I did alter some of the setting triangles to make the quilt symmetrical. The quilt insisted on it!)

And some quilting close-ups! Some free motion and some ruler work.


And … Cheryl has announced that there will be another mystery quilt starting in July! I already know that I’m going to join in! It’s called the Melodic Mystery! Are you going to join?

One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!
Happy Quilting!
Gail

Love your Macaron quilt! I have done two of her mysteries in the past and always love her designs. I am planning to do the next one but have not decided if I want to do it blind or get a sneak peak.

It’s been years since I have done a mystery quilt, but like you I love the surprise element of discovering what all that work is about. Yours is lovely.

Thanks, Brenda! Melodic Mystery should be fun! All of her mysteries are! But perhaps, I’ll pull out my music themed fabric when the fabric amounts are announced! Time will tell!

I really like her mysteries! The clues are usually fairly quick and easy … and once a month is doable! And the results are always great! 🙂

Thanks, Jennifer! I have found that by doing mystery quilts, it often stretches me to attempt something I normally would not do!

Hi Gail! Wowee! I would never in a million years think that the fabrics you shared a closeup of are the ones in the quilt. From a distance, they read so neutral like a grayish-blue. It’s gorgeous! What a lovely job you did. Has someone claimed it or are you going to enjoy it for yourself? I love seeing all the different steps involved and they all came together into one great finished quilt. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
