Yesterday was our January meeting for the International Mystery Quilt of the Month at my local quilt store, Bolts in the Bathtub. We chatted, ate snacks and sewed strips all afternoon in a choice of two colorways, blue or jewel tones. I'll show you what everybody did when they bring them back next month.....
Here are the pictures of works -- both in progress and finished -- from past months:
A log cabin before borders in the black/white colorway....Dawna's feet sticking out....
Log cabin, complete with borders, in the red/green colorway....
Lori used a striped Christmas fabric in the borders and machine embroidered a different holiday motif in each of the four corners.
At right is a close-up of the embroidered angel in one corner...
Yellow/blue colorway; I bought the black/white, but missed the meeting and haven't done anything on it yet.
Last month was Indonesia and beach hut blocks...
here are a couple in the blue colorway...
...and a third with a really unusual set!
The other colorway was tropical brights; Cheryl got hers finished -- she's a fairly new quilter and really prolific!
Here's another one with an interesting sashing and border variation -- I really like the color change...
The dark inner border and the striped fabric really set off the little houses -- and look at those mitered corners!
Mary substituted a different fabric for the roofs of her huts so that they looked like thatched roofs...
And she embroidered little flip-flops on some of the huts -- cute!!
The Lasagna colorway of the Italy quilt with a vegetable border, natch!
Some other quilts were shown that weren't part of the mystery, but we all want to see quilts, right?
I know Liz and Lori each made this quilt because I was in the store one day when they were working on them and had the blocks on the wall, but I don't remember which of them brought it yesterday. This was a kit of flannel fabrics; the pattern is "Winter Pinwheels" by Tiffany Hayes of Needle in A Hayes Stack. When I saw it, the borders weren't on -- I really like the butterflies and, of course, the stripes in the border which make such a great frame.
Love all the great colors!
This is the Moda University BOM quilt that Dawna has been working on -- baskets are her absolute fave, so she had a lot of fun piecing this top! She still has borders to put on, but all the blocks are pieced and together.
Next post, I'll show you the stuff I've been working on this week.....
