Celtic Solstice Mystery Part 2

Part 2 of the mystery quilt came out on Friday December 6th. I was not done with part 1 but started right in on the 2nd clue.

These chevrons are much slower going for me than the first triangle-in-squares of clue 1. I have had to rip and resew several due to the gray or yellow square not quite reaching the edge of the green when folded back. I am being much more careful now and really making sure I sew a bit to the right of the marked line.

Be sure to check out everyone elses progress on this great mystery.

Celtic Solstice Mystery!

First clue

I am doing Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice Mystery quilt. Here is the first part, tri-recs units, waiting to be trimmed.

These are some of the fabrics I'll be using. I'm using grey as my neutral, otherwise using blue, orange, yellow and green like Bonnie.

Finally finished!

I've had this quilt waiting for a binding for months and finally got it done!

It has yet to be washed, and it is pictured here in the last weak rays of the day.

On the design wall...

Star pillow cover

I'll quilt this and add an envelope style back to it. The star layout is based on Sparkle Punch

Halloween Quilt

...actually done in time for Halloween!

54x54 inches October 2013

I quilted this one with a giant spiderweb, but the contrast was not really enough to see except from very close up.

Also finished this week was a small baby quilt for my boss' nephew's baby.

35x35 inches October 2013

This is the first quilt I actually free motion quilted. It came out fine, and was easy to do on such a small size quilt. This quilt is a free pattern from The Fat Quarter Shop. You can find it here
