Design Wall Monday

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.

  5. I'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.

    Your 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
