Mystery Quilts

There are several quilt groups that meet in our city, these quilts are a result of one of the groups doing a mystery quilt project .

Both of these quilts were fun to add my touch to. This first one with its trains and the steam coming from the engine on the backing made me think of swirls…bear with my imagination…

Also adding a curvy or swirly quilting design over angular piecing is pleasing to the eye.

I love how this backing adds a fun touch to this quilt esp with the purple in the steam coordinating with the quilt top.

The same quilt, different colours…so soft looking.

The backing is a winter scene, I chose the pantograph Star Swirl playing on the idea of winter night with swirling snow and a starry night…the curvy quilting with some points also works so nicely on angular piecing.

Both quilts were trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
