I do enjoy mystery quilts. Those quilts where you get a clue telling you how much fabric you'll need, then how to cut and sew that first clue. Once you finish that clue, you get the next and so on until you know how the quilt will turn out.
This quilt is heirloom quilted with each of the Churn Dash blocks stitched in the ditch, and a feathered wreath in the setting blocks.
There is also a tight background fill quilted with a matching thread in all of the backgrounds. This allows the wreaths to really stand out.
I have also quilted a feather design in the outer border.
The backing fabric is a solid piece of pale yellow with small white dots, but this really allows the quilting to show.
There is a bamboo design quilted in the 1st border.
The label on the back of the quilt is machine embroidered, then stitched to the backing fabric, and then the quilt is quilted. Binding is finished by hand. All fabrics are 100% cotton, and the batting is wool. Machine wash and dry.
