Potted of Flowers


The top for this mystery quilt was made in a mystery quilt class years ago.  It was recently quilted and bound last month.  I had a blast in this class.  The teachers made kits for us.  They had us sew the steps in random order so it was impossible to figure out what the mystery was until the reveal.  Each teacher made their version of this quilt, and they both were great.  Now I have another flower quilt I can hang in springtime.

What a fun time had by all at this class.  There were 20 participants, each with different fabrics in our kits.  I probably would not have made this quilt if it had not been a mystery quilt class.  Sometimes you may not like mystery quilt classes because you do not know what type of fabrics to use since you have not seen the finished quilt.  I have been lucky so far with mystery classes.  There is only one mystery quilt that I did not particularly care for and I have participated in many mystery classes, as well as teaching a few myself.  All the participants in this mystery class were very happy with our results.

Happy Quilting

What a sweet quilt - perfect for spring. I've only done two mysteries - not all that pleased with either one.

What a cute, cute quilt for spring and summer. Wish I could say the same about my luck with mystery quilts, they haven't usually worked out very well for me. Love Bonnie Hunter's mysteries though and try to do those every Thanksgiving.

Cute quilt! And very successful for a mystery quilt. How cool that you could buy a kit for the quilt, but everyone's kit had different fabrics! That is a great idea.
