Earlier this year, Joanne, of Canuck Quilter offered a free mystery quilt. I couldn’t resist! She offered 3 different sizes and I chose to make the baby size. Although she had a parade of finished quilts (see HERE), I missed the deadline. But I’m here to show you mine now!
Here are the progress pictures:
And the finished quilt:
Quilt Stats:
- Size: 36″ x 48″
- Fabric: Island Batik: a 10″ stack of Island Batik “Constellations” and the light fabric is “Fondant.” “Blueberry” is the blue border. Binding is “Marble Storm” from Blenders
- Hobbs Batting Heirloom: 80/20
- Aurifil Thread,: #2600 (Dove Grey) piecing and quilting, #2785 (Very Dark Navy) for the binding
- Quilting: simple meander all over
I used my Oliso iron each step of the way!
Favourite Finish of the Month
Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl hosts a “Favourite Finish” each month. My favourite finish is (again) hard to choose. My Island Batik paper pieced tree skirt (see THIS POST) or my Half and Half mystery. Which one is your favourite?
I was Featured!
Andrée from Quilting & Learning – What a combo! and Denise from A Quiltery both featured different quilts on their websites!
I still have 5 New Starts to finish and 5 UFOs … Working on them slowly!

Hi Gail, your quilt is gorgeous in that fabric. Congrats on your finish! I’m afraid that I have another UFO! Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it in the fall. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
