I have been a mystery quilt fan for about 20 years, so it only makes sense that Bonnie Hunter is my quilting guru because she has been writing mystery patterns for almost that long. Every year she has posted a free mystery quilt pattern for her fans to enjoy and it has brought me so much joy over the years, not to mention all the wonderful quilts I have made!
Here is my review of participation over the years...
2008 Orange Crush: finished
2008 Caroline Crossroads: finished
2009 Carolina Christmas: finished

2022 Chilhowie: finished
2023 Indigo Way: mini blocks
2024 Old Town: partial blocks

So what are my Quiltville Mystery participation stats?
There have been 20 total quilts:
*12 are finished quilts (60%)
*4 are quilt tops (20%)
*4 are in pieces (20%)
That is an impressive history of quilting inspired by Bonnie Hunter don't you think?!?

People often ask me "what is your favourite mystery quilt" and my answer is - the quilts that are finished that I kept for myself and did not donate to my guild comfort quilt collection. Those quilts are:
Double Delight, Easy Street, Celtic Solstice, and En Provence.
There are so many memories of my life stitched into these beautiful quilts and I have enjoyed reviewing them again for this blogpost. And I'm once again reminded of how wonderful a blog is as a review of events and accomplishments.
You have such an impressive collection of BH's mystery quilts--
ReplyDeletelooking forward to following your latest this year...hugs, Julierose
I'm not a big mystery quilt fan but I always do save the clues for the quilts, maybe someday I'll make more of them. The only mystery quilt I've made is double delight and it's one of my favorite quilts! I like the Shoreline fabrics, your new mystery is going to lovely with those fabrics. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteBravo! That's a VERY impressive history of quilting mystery à la Bonnie. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI've also been making Bonnie Quilts since she posted ... from ????. You've done a great job cataloging each beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've done every mystery Bonnie has offered. Very impressive statistics. I didn't start till 2013 with Celtic Solstice, but have done all of them since, including Unity. I've finished 7, have 5 to quilt top stage. Only Celtic Solstice isn't a finished quilt top, it just needs two borders to be a quilt top. I'm hoping to get that far before this year's mystery starts up.
ReplyDeleteThat really is an impressive mystery quilt collection! Gorgeous quilts/ Sarah quiltingbythesea
