Misty Pines or Winter Solstice quilt
Hello,
I would like to make a quilt from an older pattern called Misty Pines, designed by Patti Carey. I think a newer version of this quilt is called Winter Solstice. I have the pattern, and it can be made as a throw or a queen size. Every picture I can find is of the throw and it's beautiful! To make the queen size which is what I want to do, the pattern calls for the same number of pieces I believe, just cut considerably larger. I am afraid this would change the look of the quilt. I am wondering if anyone has made this pattern as a queen size, and if so would you be willing to share a photo of it, and also your thoughts as to how it turned out? I would surely appreciate any input that can be given. Thanks so much, Peggy |
Here is a link to another active thread on the Misty Pine quilt that might have some of the information that you are looking for. It is such a pretty quilt. Sorry that I can’t answer your specific questions.

Found a link to Amazon which shows quilt in two sizes including Queen.

Misty Pines - size differences..
I have admired this pattern for a few years now but as another has said - so many beautiful quilts to be made, so little time!
okay - I looked at the patterns for both sizes…. Both have 8 columns - easy to figure the width of each column…. I think the larger queen needs a larger scale…. I might be inclined to make both sizes and pick a size in the middle to test, say maybe 9” blocks? Can’t wait to see what you make! |
I remember this quilt! I loved it the moment I saw it. I hope you show and tell when you are finished.

post a picture here....but it will be a while! :) In case you are interested, the original pattern published in McCalls is credited as having been designed by Patti Carey and was called “Misty Pines.” Patti looks like she released a similar pattern in a similar size called “Winter Solstice.” Patti now has released another pattern in Throw, Queen and King called “Misted Pines.” I think all 3 sizes use the 8x 8 grid with different size rectangular blocks. Here is the pattern on Patti’s website: https://pattispatchwork.com/collecti...s/misted-pines |
I have just purchased Misted Pines pattern from the designer’s website. The throw and queen size are both 8 x 8 grids with different size rectangular blocks. The king size is an 11 x 8 grid with the same size blocks as the queen.

OK I see. The throw has the smaller blocks, 8 across. The queen and king have larger blocks. I am just concerned that the pattern will lose some of its beauty with the larger blocks. So I was trying to decide if I have the skills (!) to do as you suggested, and make more of the smaller blocks and fit them in somehow to create a queen size quilt. Do you possibly remember where to find the picture you saw of the queen size made on a 12 x 12 grid?
Thank you so very much! I appreciate all this information! |
