I've been doing the Marble Mystery Quilt Along with Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs. I love the pace of Cheryl's mysteries and have really enjoyed sewing along, especially after having sat out the last several years. I only posted my progress once, but I am excited to now have a finish!
All the fabrics are Island Batik. The background is solid white, and there are three shades of orange: Peach, Marmalade, and Dandelions in Pumpkin. I bought the yellow fabric from my local quilt shop; it's from the Vintage Charm collection.
I'm not sure it photographs well, especially on the sunny days I've had recently, but I'm really happy with it. I had it at work to take pictures and a coworker who saw it said it looked "like sunshine in quilt form." I love that!
Cheryl always has such great patterns, both for her mysteries and her other patterns. One of the neatest things about the mysteries is the sheer number of people who sew along, which means a huge number of color and fabric combinations! Cheryl will host a finish parade of all the Marble Mystery quilts that have been sent to her next Monday. Be sure to visit her blog on Monday, March 10th to see them all!
Her patterns are great! Your Marble Mystery is fantastic! Congratulations on a fabulous finish!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like sunshine in quilt form. You picked a fun color palette and it worked really well with the pattern. I took a look at all the quilts on the parade and it's fun to see all the different versions.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colours you used! The 4 patches are a little plain in a darker fabric, but the yellow makes them shine out yet be subtle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty finish! I love the colors. You don't see a lot of orange toned quilts out there.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and Cheryl's mysteries are always so fun. Your co-worker is right - sunshine in a quilt!
