Have you seen any Morewood Mystery quilt tops or finished quilts yet? I am enjoying seeing the first finishes with all of the different fabrics and colors each quilter used.
You can see all of the Morewood Mystery quilts as they post in the Meadow Mist Designs Facebook Group and on social media using the hashtag #morewoodmysteryquilt.
All of the information and instructions for the free, monthly Morewood Mystery quilt can be found on the Morewood Mystery Page and I have a full pdf version of the pattern available in my shop.
Here is my version of the Morewood Mystery...
FABRICS, BATTING, AND THREAD
For my version, I used four speckle fabrics from Ruby Star on a background of Bella white, all from Moda fabrics.
I used Aurifil 50 wt soft white thread (2021) for both the piecing and quilting and the batting is Warm & White by the Warm Company.
For the backing, I used a gray Anna Maria Horner print that I had a bolt of. I had originally picked out a navy print, but once the quilt top was together, I decided that I wanted a softer and lighter backing for the quilt.
QUILTING DESIGN
My main goal for the quilting was to add texture throughout the quilt and especially the white background so I decided to go with an allover design.
One of my favorite designs to quilt is a large paisley swirl type design. It is larger in scale so it goes quickly, adding texture without taking away from the piecing design.

Gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning design and version, Cheryl! It's been very exciting getting to see everyone's versions coming together. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a "winter" version of your quilt and certainly suits the season right now. The backing material suits the colors you chose and the binding finishes off nicely. Thanks for sharing. I'll be posting mine when done.
ReplyDeleteI always love to see your quilts! They have such an unique style :) xo
