Embers of a Shattered Illusion
 

I decided to go scrappy with left over pieces from a BH MQ that I didn't use.
It will be a companion quilt for the MQ .

Really distinctive! I like it quite a lot. Very clever of you in your designing. Martie in CA

That is wonderful! Great way to put those left overs to use!

Wonderful way to use the extra pieces!

I would love that for the backing to my GI :) Great use of leftovers :)

Very nicely done!!!

It would be perfect for the backing.

Urban chic! Love it.

Very pretty! But I'm surprised you had left over blocks.

I made a smaller quilt as DH didn't like it at all. So the original MQ was made into a lap quilt to curl up in rather than the regular size.

Love it!!!

What is an MQ?

An MQ is a term for a Mystery Quilt. It is a quilt that is created based on clues to make blocks that are given at certain time intervals ( daily, weekly, monthly) with the final unveiling of the entire quilt shown at the end of the clues. As you complete the clues, you have no idea as to the quilt outcome.

Really like your quilt and colors.

Love love love it! Great idea!!!

Nice "out of the box" thinking! So nice!!

What a great idea.

What a great idea I like it. I'm thinking maybe I can do something like that with my MQ. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love it! Very poetic name with your scrap pieces. Perfect.

Very nice. Love the black background. Great job.

Very nice! Grat use of scraps for a new look.

great use of leftovers

Very modern type quilt. Very ingenious in your layout

What a great use of those leftovers. I could see it as the back of the MQ also, but as a 2nd quilt it's great also. Love to see how you quilt this one.

That's great. Love the name.

Was that Bonnie Hunter's "Grand Illusion" Mystery Quilt? I really like your use of the leftovers!

Love the black background. Both are beautiful.

Yes. I ended up making a lap sized version of her MQ.

Losing it with all these abbreviations......MI,BH,MQ.....??

Great quilt! Very striking!

GI is for Grand Illusion, the name of Bonnie Hunter's (BH) 2014 winter mystery quilt(MQ). She is a quilt designer, who tends to design quilts with scraps and color play. Her mystery quilt started the Friday after Thanksgiving with a clue given every Friday until New Year's Day - the final reveal. It was a unique quilt but not for everyone.

Love it!!

Well aware of BH.....I should have just thought a bit deeper...thanx for the heads up

What a smart and creative way to use your blocks. Very distinctive. Nice work.

I am loving your innovative quilt. Very thrifty of you to use up your leftovers.

I really like this. Far less busy than the original.

Very clever use of the leftover blocks. Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty! Love the way the color pops off the black!

Great use of leftovers and such a unique design. Beautiful.
