Two quilt tops, Same pattern
2 Attachment(s)
It's been a while but I finally have some thing to post. Our guild sponsored a mystery quilt on line, perfect for these times. Using only my stash, I wanted to use blues and browns but I really didn't have enough of any one fabric. As a consequence I used a tan from the back of the cupboard and made it work. Not my favourite. I massaged it a bit (ignoring the patterns fabric selections near the finish) and ended up with a quilt I can live with.
That said, I decided to do it all again using only Green. This one I love and I think you will too. Mono colours add an interesting twist. Both finished at around 78" sq. |
I like both of your quilts and isn't it interesting how different quilts can look with different fabrics. great work
|
I like them both. They have different vibes and both are very effective with the color selection.
|
The green background with the leaves gives the whole quilt such movement - terrific fabric selections
|
Both are lovely!
|
The dark one is just so much more dramatic! Well done on both.
|
They're both neat. I think I'm partial to the green one though because the fabric choices give it so much movement. Good work!

You are a great massager! They both looked well planned and beautiful. I've been working on two quilts, both from my stash and I am so happy I have the fabrics, even though sometimes it was a stretch. Your quilts are beautiful.

I love both of the quilts the green one has so much movement but I also like the brown one, To me, it looks like an Indian pattern.. both are beautiful.

I like the blue & tan one the best. Good job.
|
Lovely quilts....both of them!
|
They both are lovely - I would have had to "look hard" to realize that they are both made from the same pattern.
|
It is always amazing to me how color can change the whole ( personality) of a quilt- I like them both, for very different reasons, due to the very different color schemes . Definitely winners both.
|
Great job on both and love both combinations. Amazing how different they are.
|
You've done a terrific job on both quilts! I really like the colours and movement in the green but the other is lovely too.
I always struggle with picking fabrics for "mystery" quilts - I like to see the overall pic so that choosing where to place a specific colour/design will fit the mood of the project. I did do a Bonnie Hunter mystery a few years ago and was disappointed with the colour placement - haven't done another since. Did you do a block a week or a section each month? I think it's great that your guild offered a fun activity during these crazy times! Awesome results!! |
Two beautiful quilts! As green is my favorite color, I can't help but drool over that one a little bit more than the other. Nice work.
|
They are both wonderful quilts.
|
Love them both. As noted, I think the first one has a Native feel to it. Was it an actual pattern or made up specifically for your guild?
|
A mystery quilt a long sounds fun to do. You rose to the challenge very well. I like both the quilt color choices.
|
I like the green choice but I am not a "brown" person and have little in my stash. I like your persistence and choices of colors that allowed you to work from stash and to be creative. Like others have said, changing the color palette can certainly change how the pattern shines.

A commercial pattern whose name I did not keep.
Sorry. |
I think the tan was a good addition. both are great!
|
Both are beautiful. Love the stars and flying geese. Thx for sharing.
|
Those are both pretty quilts in each color. All those SIAS and FG made with perfect points and then you made one more. You are brave! Congrats on beautiful finishes.
|
I like them both! The brown edge makes the blues and white pop! While the greens are so earthy and the earth tones and fabrics make this quilt feel so warm so quickly that I want to jump right under it. Thanks for sharing these 2 lovely quilts.
|
I am excited to see how you quilt them. You are so talented at needle design.
|
I like them both! But you’re right..... the monochromatic coloring is really interesting!
|
Both are beautiful. Great work on both.
|
Really pretty quilts but like others, I am partial to the green one.
|
Both are beautiful! But the green one is like a treasure chest of emeralds! Awesome job!
|
Yep, I, too, like the green one. They are both beautiful, though.
|
Both quilts are lovely. I really like how the all green has texture and my eyes just drifted from one print to the next.
|
It sure is good to see a mystery quilt turn out so well. I've always been reluctant to make one for fear of not liking the end results. Your two are gorgeous but the green one is to roll over & die for! I always love seeing your work.
|
So gorgeous, both of them!
|
Love them both! It is interesting how different they look.
|
Both are lovely quilts. The green one almost blends with the grass in the photo.
