A Mystery in Three Parts

Finally! Crystal Butterfly

Here's my version...I sent it to the LQS to be quilted (Bits & Pieces in NH) and she did a wonderful job. I bought this fabric a long time ago and this pattern was speaking to me, telling me that this was why I had been saving it! and I love purple...

I like the backing on this one as much as the front!

This is my mystery quilt in 3 parts quilt. It was my first mystery quilt and I was totally surprised at the results. The directions were great- simple!

Here's my finished top.

Don't know about anyone else but my snowball blocks were so wonky I had to trim them (and then trim MANY other blocks to match) down drastically. Others in my LQS had the same problem so I didn't feel too bad.

I say "mostly finished" because this is just the top, I still have a way to go before it's actually usable. :)

I made this quilt for my Granddaughter's bedroom redo. It is perfect for a 12 year old and she loves it.

Made from stash fabric...still needs to be layered and quilted, if I ever find the perfect backing and binding fabric. I don't think the picture shows the true colors, which are cream, teal, peach and black.

Reply from Sherri:

For the units you make in Part 2, it really doesn’t matter which way you press the seams. I pressed mine in the direction they “wanted” to go, in this case, away from the pieced squares from Part 1.

It's OK. I was hoping for something a little more, well, special, but I think my granddaughter will like it. It's the fabrics that are the focus in this quilt, not so much the design.

Do you like it?

I was curious to see what everyone's reaction was to the final reveal of the mystery quilt.... I didn't care for it much when I first saw it, but decided to finish my committment and the quilt has grown on me. I am almost done and am glad that I stuck it out, but not sure if I will do another mystery for a little while. What did you all think of it??

I won't give anything away, in case some of you have not seen it yet, just know the design is one that is kind of unexpected.

Pressing seams in blocks - Part II of Mystery Quilt

LPC — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:07:39 GMT

Hi there

I just have a quick question - now I've finished sewing the Part II blocks, which way should I press my seams? Or won't it matter in the final quilt construction?

I'm eagerly awaiting Part III - but as I live in Switzerland, the magazine takes a while to arrive - so far I've managed to avoid looking at any photos of the finished article as I want it to be a surprise when I get the magazine in the next couple of weeks :-)

Thanks for your help

Lynne

Just received my digital version of the mag and am excited about the grand reveal!

Part 3: Kathy's finished quilt

McCall's Quilting senior editor Kathy Patterson played along too, using assorted 1930s repro prints. She chose white solid as 2 of her fabrics (both A and C fabrics). She appliquéd pretty English paper pieced flowers onto the white solid snowball centers.
