Allietare Mystery Quilt 2015 - Quilting

Allietare Mystery Quilt with Wave on Wave Pantograph

My annual guilty quilting pleasure is to join the ride of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery quilt.  It is launched at Thanksgiving and is released weekly until the reveal which is usually New Year's Day.  This year the mystery quilt was an Italian inspired design, Allietare.

This is my third mystery quilt and the aim is to use up some of the lingering scraps in my fabric stash and take me out of my comfort zone with design and techniques.   I can highly recommend it.

The top was finished last week and for my Allietare quilt top I chose an all over pantograph pattern called 'Wave on Wave' designed by Patricia Ritter at Urban Elementz.

My new customers often comment that realising they can get their quilts long arm quilted really liberates them and gives them enthusiasm to move onto the next quilting project.  I share that feeling - knowing that I could join in the Allietare Mystery quilt and get the quilt quilted so that it would be in circulation within a few weeks really encouraged me to stick with it.
