Welcome to my the first Mystery Quilt launch of 2024, and our next collection is called Wild West. I have,(so far) seven possible colourways for you to chose from. I am hopeful I might be able to add another couple but I am just waiting on some details.
For now I am going to show the collection under the fabric collection name but can you guess some of the themed names?
What is a Mystery Quilt?
If you have never heard of the Mystery Quilt then let me fill you in with what is on offer. This is a quilt designed by Sheila Christensen @mysteryquilter and it is a puzzle quilt over 10 months.
Each parcel contains that month’s puzzle instructions and all the pre-cut fabric pieces to make the blocks. Pieces are kept simple: triangles, squares and rectangles and at the end the final puzzle is revealed to give you a beautiful finished quilt top.
It is a Mystery or puzzle as you don’t know what the finished quilt will look like until the final reveal, but the quilts are very cleverly designed by Sheila and always turn out fabulous.
What are your options?
Each of these seven colourways I have carefully selected for you to choose from, so I hope you see something that takes your fancy?
Here is a closer look at the fabrics chosen for this Mystery Quilt.
At Day’s End
This fabric collection is called At Day’s End from Sarah Maxwell of Designs by Sarah J. This is her first fabric collection for Andover Fabrics and I knew instantly it would be perfect for Mystery Quilt. I opted for a combination of the low volume greys and teal greens.
For anyone new to my Mystery Quilt from the image above the outer circle represents the binding fabric. Below are details of each of the six main prints.
Birdie
This is my first collection from Libs Elliott’s latest collection called Birdie for Andover Fabrics. I have opted for a blue colourway of this retro print. With a hint of mustard/gold to give a pop of colour. Here is a closer look at all the prints within the quilt top.
Birdie
My second offering from Libs Elliott Birdie collection is a beautiful range of pinks.I loved this collection so much that I had to go for two colourways, I just can’t decide which is my favourite now! Again here is a closer look at the prints I am using.
Botanist
This collection is an enchanting woodland themed fabric from Katarina Roccella for Art Gallery Fabrics. With a combination of blushing pinks, misty greys and rich umbers this collection of fabrics has everything.
Ink
Ink is a glorious range of greys and low volumes from Giucy Giuce for Andover fabrics. I am really happy with how these prints have turned out as this one could have proved tricky but I can guarantee this is a must for any grey lover. The final print is white with a very subtle grey mottle print.
Kasumi
Kasumi from Makower Fabrics is inspired by the simple elegance of the Japanese gardens, a blend of floral prints in deep indigo, teals and creams with accents of soft pinks, reds and metallic gold detail.
Just so you know there is a Koi print within this collection but I opted not to use this within the Mystery Quilt, so there will be no little fishes appearing in your quilt, just these beautiful florals and blenders.
Verdigris
Another collection from Libs Elliott as she really has been putting out some fabulous and varied collections. I could not pass up this urban feel collection with its combination of deep neutrals, warm rusts and cool sage greens. Verdigris is inspired by urban decay, a range of grit and softness.
