Today I have a finish. This is the 2006 Retreat Mystery Quilt. Well, not really. I think after step #4 said cut 306 HST I threw my hands up and said the weekend simply wasn’t long enough.
This is what I did with some of the parts and pieces — that is the outer blocks. The center medallion and tiny squares I made about the same time as the fabric is the same.
I’m calling this quilt “It’s A Mystery!”. It measures approximately 41″ square. I quilted it on a Nolting at Quilted Memories. The top thread is King Tut “Sands of Time”. The bobbin thread is Bottom Line in a dark red/maroon. I used Warm and Natural batting.
Here’s a bit of a close up of the quilting. Click on the picture for a larger image.
I’m linking up today for Design Wall Monday over at Patchwork Times.
What a fabulous quilt. I love the scrappiness.
really pretty and I like the star in the center. You did a nice job quilting it too. I have should try using bottom line, I hear good things about it. I stick with So Fine in my long arm. I haven’t had luck with anything else.
This was a great use of your blocks. I did that once with some leftover blocks, that I really didn’t like, and it turned into one of the nicest quilts I have made. It looks like you did the same.
Nice to have a finish on the first DWM of the New Year. The one would have been fun to Test for you. Any thing new to test this year?? Let me know, I might have spare time to play…
