My husband complained that I give all my quilts away to my children in the UK so I decided to make him one of his own! He loves really bright fiery hot colours and they are right out of my comfort level but I chose the fabric for a mystery quilt class. We had the final class last night and now I can see the pattern and this is the work in progress. It is VERY bright! lol My husband loves it so far!

Very bright and cheery, good piecing, it's a great quilt, share with us a pic when you complete it. Have fun.

I love those colors and the pattern too.

The quilt is beautiful and the colours are gorgeous! What pattern did you use and is it available? If your kids see this one, your husband may not have a quilt. You may want to make this pattern again in your colours or something a little softer as it is a great design.

I don't think this quilt is as bright as some I've seen posted on here, but I really like it. I like the pattern, colors, fabrics and want to copy it!

ann clare 07-24-2010 03:34 PM

Lovely quilt

quiltlady 07-24-2010 03:38 PM

Not my colors either but I always admire quilts made with the brighter colors. Great piecing- your husband scores big.

mrs. fitz 07-24-2010 07:33 PM

It made me think of the current weather - blazing hot. No doubt he loves it, it's a beauty.

annieshane 07-24-2010 08:18 PM

Please, Please, Please post the photos of completed quilt. It is stunning and such happy colors. I agree, if your children see this, you may have to start hubby another quilt.

Really like this design. What is the pattern?

Thank you all so much for your comments and encouragement! I will post more photos as it progresses and some of the details of the pattern. It is one that our teacher (Sharon Galna of Ultimate Sewing Centre, Oshawa) compiled from a couple of different patterns. She is amazing and this is the third Mystery Quilt I have done with her. She gives us details of the 'values' we should be looking for in our fabric choices before the classes and also just lets us know if two fabrics will be side by side and maybe do not have enough/too much contrast so we can decide if we are going to be happy with the final outcome. She also always challenges us and encourages the class to go out of the 'box' or individual comfort levels.
