Will you be joining in Bonnie Hunter's Mystery 2015 Mystery quilt, Allietare?  It starts over at Quiltville.com on Friday 27th November 2015 and usually runs on until New Years Day 2016. Easy Street was my first mystery quilt with Bonnie back in 2012.  I loved the way it turned out.

I even pieced the back enlarging one of the blocks and using up some of the fabrics I still had remaining.  But since January 2013 it has been tucked away waiting to be quilted.  So before I start on the 2015 Mystery quilt 'Allietare', I thought I had better get it quilted.

Here it is on the frame ready for quilting, using Hobbs Polydown as the wadding and ready to be stitched in a tan thread.

I chose one of the more complex patterns I have in my digital pantograph library called 'Royal Plumes' by Judy Allen.  This particular pattern takes a long time to do, but does has a beautiful feathery flourish.

You might just be able to see the Royal Plumes pattern as it was on the frame.

So Easy Street is quilted (Celtic Solstice is still waiting!), making way for Allietare.  I love my Easy Street as it reminds me of the wonderful time I had making it over the Christmas period back in 2012.  It will be sure to be out over the festive period this year.
Will you be joining in the 2015 Mystery Quilt?

  2. It seems like we made Easy Street years and years ago (and mine still isn't quilted). Yours is beautiful, Frances. Congrats on the finish!
