Eileen's Color Value Mystery

Eileen made this quilt as part of the Canuck Quilter's 2025 Color Value Mystery quilt along.  The pattern is now available for purchase under the name Evening Light.  

Eileen pulled all of the fabrics from her stash  (even the backing) and hoped for the best as you always have to do with a mystery quilt.  I think it all came together really well.

Eileen chose the Gingersanp pantograph.  The circles in the pantograph echo the circles in a few of her fabric prints and tie things together very nicely.

 

2 for Val

Val brought two quilts that were both mystery quilt alongs done with Melissa Marginet during covid times.  Both quilts are now available as stand alone patterns at www.melissamarginet.ca  

First up is Daisy Chain.  I love the lime green in Val's color palette.  Val chose the Fascination pantograph which adds some nice movement to the quilt top.

Val used the a few fabrics to pull together a coordinated quilt back making good use of the fabrics she had on hand.

The second quilt is called Linked.

Val chose the Flirtatious pantograph.  It reminds me of the flight path of all the dragonflies on her focal fabric.

And another resourceful quilt backing.  I love that it is planned yet scrappy.

Cat in the Hat

Tannis made this cheerful Dr. Suess quilt.  The free pattern was designed to be used with the Cat in the Hat fabric line from Robert Kaufman.

Tannis chose the Twister pantograph and I think is a very fun choice.  The bold red backing is a perfect fit.

I really love the border fabric on this one!

Kaleidoscope Stripes and Plaids

 

Deb made this fun quilt using the plaids and strips from the Allison Glass Kaleidoscope collection.    You will notice from the lack of snow on the ground in these photos that I haven't posted in a while and it is time to catch up.  It is a full winter wonderland here now!

Deb chose the Dazzle pantograph and as always it shows up so well on the Fireside backing.

Crossweave

Deb made this lovely quilt for a co-worker who is retiring.  The pattern is called Crossweave from Diary of a Quilter - Amy Smart.  The fabric collection is called Nutmeg by Basic Grey for Moda.

Deb chose the Calder pantograph.  She added a beautiful navy flannel from Northcott to amp up the coziness.

 

Hockey and Ringette Jersey Quilt

Joy brought this wonderful quilt that is made out of hockey and ringette jerseys.  Joy was commissoned to make this quilt by the Ringette player and she wanted to include her partner's hockey jerseys as well.

Very simple quilting was the request for this quilt.  A few options were considered, but after seeing me post a quilt with some freehand organic wavy lines, the request came in for that to be the final selection.  It was a great option for me, as I got to work from the front of the machine and could see when I was approaching a thicker crest or heavy vinyl number.

The 1 HP motor on my machine handled the jerseys, batting and fireside backing with no issues at all.  Joy otped to utilize Marion's binding service. The black and white stripe is reminiscent of a referee's unifrom and makes a great finish.

Memphis Blues

Corne brought this lovely beautiful batik quilt that she started as a Block of the Month a number of years ago.  The pattern is called Memphis Blues by Jerry Stube Designs.

Corne chose the Divine pantograph and a lovely purple Magnifico thread.  The backing was a beautiful Northcott wide back from the Stonhenge Ombre collection.
