On my design wall today are some of the blocks from step #1 of the Quiltmaker mystery. Not very exciting.
Step #2 is out so I have peaked ahead and see that there is a lot more sewing for this step. These are my fabrics for the mystery.
I usually don't use directional prints in mysteries, because you don't have any idea how they will work together in the blocks. But I really like these fabrics, so I plan to be fine with however they work out in the overall quilt design.
To visit other quilty blogs and get some design wall inspiration, hop over to Patchwork Times.
Mystery quilts are such fun. Looks interesting so far.
ReplyDeleteI used a directional print in the only mystery I ever did and it worked out fine. I like your selections! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing this mystery, but I love settling and watching yours appear. Love yoru fabric selection!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will be lovely--I love prints with words on them, and I like your colors you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the mystery. It looks great so far. I'm a bit mysteried out now. I realize I've made mostly mystery quilts over the last few years so decided to take a break and do other stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour Hexagon Honeycomb is darling. How about putting half hexagons in the spaces if you want even edges or just bind the "jagged" edges for a different look. Way cool beginning though. Bonnie
Won't it be fun to see how these beautiful fabrics develop into a beautiful quilt. Have fun with it. I love you Heaser.
ReplyDeleteOoooo! Intriguing! I must have overlooked the Mystery when glimpsing through my magazine; I will DEFINITELY check it out!
ReplyDeleteThose polka-dots look fun!
