Mystery Quilt

Fall Mystery Quilts

/ quiltinggail / 6 Comments

Did you do the Fall Mystery quilt that was posted here on my blog? Several local people did the mystery and I got to see some of them in person at a guild meeting …

Here’s Patti’s, Patricia’s, & Stella’s

Below is Lynne who used the extra blocks to make another quilt! She donated both of these quilts.

At the Boundary Bay Quilt show, I spotted 10 hanging around the venue. If I missed yours, please accept my apology!

I had been under the impression that they would all be grouped together so people could see the variation that fabric choices make. (Obviously, I was mistaken) At any rate, here they are … no two are alike! I’m in AWE at how the different fabrics make such a different looking quilt!

The last 2 quilts are mine. The last one was made with Island Batik’s “Cheers” fabric collection. Hobbs batting is in the middle and Aurifil thread was used to piece and quilt it! All sewn on either my Feather weight or my domestic Janome (M7).

Please note: The clues to the Fall Mystery, using a Layer Cake, or a 10″ stack, will be removed at the end of May.

Something NEW!

Tomorrow, May 10, Jenny’s new tool box will be available for pre-order! The MSQC home page will be filled with all the information. Unfortunately, the kit is not coupon eligible for a 20% discount, but if you purchase it and use my Affiliate link: https://glnk.io/mzmmj/quiltinggail , I will still make a small commission.

Details of the Tool Box: This aqua metal toolbox is embossed with the Missouri Star logo and comes with Quilt Town floral fabric-lined inserts that easily lift out so you can store additional notions. The inside of the toolbox lid is magnetic to hold pins, needles, and other small notions. Elastic straps are also included to hold needle packs or a small template, and there’s extra room underneath the inserts for additional supplies. Jenny’s Signature Series Tools are made from German-grade surgical stainless steel and come beautifully etched with Missouri Star logos.  The actual kits will start shipping sometime in August.

Here is my Affiliate link: https://glnk.io/mzmmj/quiltinggail  If you order over $50 from Missouri Star, (aside from this Tool Box), you will get 20% off your order and I will receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

Happy Quilting!

Fall ’23: Layer Cake Mystery: Clue #9

/ quiltinggail / 6 Comments

59” x 59”

Fabric Requirements and Clues can be found by clicking on the appropriate Clues below:

Clue #9

Clue #9:

Arrange the QST on your design wall (or bed, or table, or floor) in a 6 x 6 format.

Add a 1 ½” x 6 ½” rectangles to the side of 5 QST (1st picture). Then join them together, adding the 6th QST (2nd picture). Next, add the sashing between the rows, the top and bottom (3rd picture). And then the sides (no picture).

Add a strip of (11) 4 patches to each side. 

Add a strip of (13) 4 patches to the top and bottom. 

Cut (5) 2 ½” strips for the final border.  Join these in one long strip.  See this Youtube video for assistance on adding borders the EASY way.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io65pwM3vJ8&t=303s

What about those extra 4 patches?

Now, you have a few choices …

  • I sewed them into 2 strips of (13) 4 patches, added another 1 ½” sashing between the top and bottom (13) 4 patches strips, added the new strips of 4 patches making the quilt longer … it’s 69″ long
  • My pattern tester added them to the back of her quilt (see below)
  • Make a small table runner / placemats or ???

I used a 10″ stack of “Cheers” and “Dandelion-Plum” as the sashing and borders.

In order to save your printer ink, I did not include the above pictures in the pdf. The pdf will provide you with enough information to complete this clue without the actual pictures.

Here is a pdf of Clue #7 if you want to have a paper copy.

59” x 59”

Fabric Requirements:

  • Layer Cake or 10” stack – needs to have at least 39 squares
  • Coordinating / Background: Fabric:  1 ¼  yard   or 1.1 m
  • Binding: ¾ yard or 0.8 m

When I originally made this quilt, I used a Kansas Troubles Layer Cake.

When I took it out of the package, I pressed the squares on my Prairie Spirit Alpaca pressing mat.

CLUE #1

Arrange 36 of the fabrics into pairs.  Each square needs to contrast with the other.  You will have 18 pairs.  Put the extra squares aside for now.

I placed 18 squares on the design wall and matched each one with a contrasting one.

Tuesday’s Talkin’

/ quiltinggail / 10 Comments

Week 2 Blog Hop

This is Week 2 of Island Batik’s “Pieced to Perfection” Blog Hop.

Lots and lots of beautiful quilts are being shown!

September 11 was my day to show my quilt using the “Copper Patina” fabric collection. I absolutely LOVED the teals in this grouping! Hobbs Batting, Aurifil thread and Silly Moon Rulers were used to create these quilts!

Here are pictures of my quilts and you can read more about them HERE.

If you want an opportunity to win fabric from this collection make sure you comment on the original POST, HERE.

Are you ready for a Mystery Quilt?

I will be hosting a Mystery Quilt here on my blog starting Wednesday, September 27. The clues will be posted every Wednesday for 8 or 9 weeks.

When I originally made this quilt, I used a Kansas Troubles layer cake. I will be making this quilt along with you using a 10″ stack of Island Batik fabric.

The quilt will finish at 59″ x 59″

Fabric Requirements:

  • A 10″ stack (or layer cake) that has at least 39 squares. (Yes, you can use fabric from your stash if you wish) The pattern tester used 20 squares from a layer cake and 20 squares from a coordinating fabric that she cut herself. Both quilts look great!
  • Background: Fabric 1 ¼  yard   or 1.1 m
  • Binding: ¾ yard or 0.8 m

Stitching Stuff

Kate, from Life in Pieces, is hosting “Stitching Stuff” and the goal is to sew for at least 15 minutes a day. I use Kate’s guideline, but my personal goal is to sew for 30 minutes a day. On those “blah” days, it does motivate me to sit at my machine and 30 minutes often turns into several hours. Thank you Kate for the motivation!

A Fun Retreat!

/ quiltinggail / 20 Comments

We were at Over The Rainbow Lodge on Camano Island for almost a week. It’s a beautiful place to retreat! And, since we’re an established group, we’re booked in until 2030!!!! WOOHOO!!!

I think all 12 people that attended the retreat enjoyed themselves … lots and lots of sewing and laughter!

We took turns cooking supper and had fabulous gourmet meals!!! DELICIOUS!!!

As I was preparing this blog post, I realized that I didn’t get any pictures of the food, the snack counter (TONS!), or of the 12 people sewing in one room and having fun!

I didn’t get a picture of each of the projects that people were working on … there was a great variety and a LOT of creativity happening! Here’s a few pictures of what was happening:

Pillow cases, kits from quilts, jelly roll quilts, quilts using templates, hand sewn hexi quilt, tiny tiny pieces, 3 yard quilts, scrappy quilts, coordinated quilts …. so many different things happening!

I know someone is going to ask … the dog chart was found on Pinterest and Kandy used 5″ blocks to make the quilt.

What did I work on?

I attempted to quilt my Melodic Mystery, but it was difficult on a smaller machine, eventually I gave up. The Black & white photo is of an Island Batik catalogue quilt and the top is completed! The blocks for the X’s & O’s were completed and the top is almost done. I just need to add the border …

The Melodic Mystery is made with Kansas Troubles fabric. The other 2 quilts are Island Batik fabric. The X’s & O’s were cut with Accuquilt

Fall 2022 Scrappy Mystery Quilt: The Parade!

/ quiltinggail / 17 Comments

The Quilts

This is Patti’s. I love the scrappiness and the dark background!

Here’s Dawn’s. She used 2 fabrics and the background. Doesn’t it look great?

Susan has the top together. It was a sunny day, so she was able to get a picture with true colours! And yes, you can see her shadow! She’s used ‘plane’ fabric! Very cute!

Jill has pulled fabric for her quilt … with those blues and greens against the grey – it’ll be lovely!

Isabelle says she still needs to add the border – and that will happen after Christmas.

Lynn K has the blocks laid out for one row. She says that she loves the scraps, but has very few left! That is amazing! And the background it totally scrappy – awesome!

Heather also did a scrappy background. And why not? Here it is with the rows ready to put together!

Irene ‘s inspector (Miss Hamish) obviously likes the blues in this quilt!!!

And here’s mine. The one with the dark background was the inspiration and the one with the light background was the one that I made while writing the pattern! Both are made with Island Batik fabrics, Hobbs batting on the inside and Aurifil thread for the quilting.
