"Geese in the Wild Roses"


Three times a year, I attend a mystery class given by Linda Ballard of northern California. It's something my quilting buddies and I have been doing for, oh, about 10 years! (yeah, do the math--this may be why my mystery quilt tops take up a large portion of my UFO list!)

So, Friday night and all day Saturday, we worked on this quilt: The line of fabric is "Wild Rose" by Maywood Studios and I just LOVE it! My DH put up a new quilt rack for me for Xmas and I'm going to be making quilts that fit it just right so I can change them out on a regular basis. This one's only 42 X 52 so I'm sure to finish it quickly and put it right up!

BTW: the 6 blocks in this quilt are from an identical pattern. The value of the fabric is what makes them look different.

Very pretty quilt - I like that the blocks are the same only different!

Seriously??? All the same pattern?? NO WAY!! Now I have to bring up the picture on FB so I can see it more clearly. I have a feeling I will be spending my lunch time tracing it out so I can see how you did that. I assumed they were different patterns.

It turned out gorgeous. What fun, to get together three times a year.

Thank you for pointing out that they are the same pattern. I can see that now. And for giving the size. Great information and a great quilt.

That is one of the many things I love about quilting, that the same patter can look so different depending on fabrics, colours and value. Great quilt!

That is so cool...I had to make the photo real big to see that each block is the same pattern...neato!
I love mystery quilts too!

That line tempted me but I was able to resist the urge. I love what you did with it...very pretty!
