Having hunted out your units we look at putting them together this week. The version shown on the worksheet isn’t the only possibility and Chris has played around with her units turning them this way and that
before deciding on one, sewing it all together and adding a couple of borders.
Then there is the matter of quilting. In the ditch? Something a little more adventurous? In the end it was a mixture of the two. The birds in the border fabric were traced and turned into quilting stencils and stitched in various bits of the quilt. A variegated thread was used to stitch in the ditch around some more prominent parts of the design and a wiggly line was quilted in the borders –
And the finished quilt – (which possibly needs more quilting in the border . . . . one day)
We hope we will get to see photos of your finished Mystery Quilts – email them or post on Instagram and tag us!
