WIP - Mystery Quilt Top
When I decided to play along with the Meadow Mist Designs Mystery Quilt hosted by Cheryl, I decided not to peek at the final pattern -- that it would truly be a mystery. It was stressful not knowing whether I had chosen appropriate fabrics.
The stress is gone....here is my finished quilt top.

well, you did a fantastic job not knowing where you were going! you chose really well. nice work, lady! it's powerful and bright and so cheery.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I never would have thought of these colors but it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Anja. I have not yet done a mystery quilt. I think it was brilliant to choose solids for this. If your fabric had a directional print I would think it could be a challenge to use it without knowing how the blocks go together.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good Anja. The white stars really pop.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, you did great choosing fabrics! I would have been terrified to mess that up, it would have driven me crazy. Your top looks great, fantastic job! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice and bright! I don`t think I would have the guts to try a mystery quilt. Yours turned out great.
ReplyDeletelovely work!
ReplyDeleteI love how yours turned out! Nice and bright and fun. I finished my first color version last night. Time to get on the second one.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful, bright quilt, Anja! Like others who have commented, I never would have put those colours together, but I'll take a lesson from what you've done. I really like how the design is staggered, I think it adds a lot to the quilt's appeal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting to TN&TN's WIP Wednesday!
I love the colours and design layout of this quilt! I'd love to drape it over a white wicker chair on a big old-fashioned verandah with a mason jar full of daisies! Looks like the colours of a Maritime summer day!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love a mystery quilt that's really a mystery. Will you participate in Cheryl's next mystery quilt? I can't wait! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the way it turned out! Looks great :)
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done - looks great!
ReplyDeleteDidn't this turn into a fun quilt! All that stress for nothing! You'll have to learn to trust your instincts and just go with it....stress free next time! Have you decided how you will quilt it?
ReplyDeleteI found choosing the order of my 4 fabrics a bit stressful too and know I like to have a plan at the beginning - still I think the mystery bit is good to push you out of your comfort zone will try more of them! This turned out really well - congrats!
ReplyDeleteAnja it turned out just great! I didn't look either, and I'm still not sure, as I mentioned in my last post about it, that it will be okay. I would have reversed two of my fabrics had I known...but it still is fine and it IS fun to forge ahead with no glasses on, lol!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! This mystery has been solved beautifully! Love the background fabric and how it plays so nicely with the orange and green.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! The colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how this turned out!
ReplyDeleteNice, bright colours! It looks good. I've been enjoying seeing this pattern made in all different colour ways.
ReplyDeleteYour Midnight Mystery turned out great! I very much enjoyed the experience.
