Murder Mystery Quilt

I recently had the pleasure to add my touch to this amazing and very interesting quilt.

Its maker took part in the 2023 Murder Mystery designed by Whipstitch https://whip-stitch.com/blog/

She did make some changes including fabrics, the shape of the dragons head and also added the sequins and bead embellishments to the dragon.

When we met to discuss her quilt, my initial thought was that the quilting design Star-swirl would be a perfect match for this quilt. I pulled various designs from my collection however once she saw Star-swirl that was her choice.

Quilting a pantograph with embellishments especially beads can be problematic however I have a technique that enables me to work with them successfully.

There are many interesting details, such as the hand sewn appliqué on both the dragon and the snake.

The backing is a stunningly beautiful blue.

Her quilt was trimmed and ready for binding at pick up.
