Scrappy Mystery for Design Wall Monday

Last Thursday, Kevin the Quilter revealed the final layout of his Simply Sensational Summer Scrap quilt mystery. The hundreds of squares and 4-patches are getting joined together into a wonderful scrappy mosaic quilt.

I had to work over part of the weekend, which seriously cut into my sewing time, but I still made a good start at sewing together my blue and yellow units.  I managed to construct the center square, the first border, and the corner triangles. This still has more borders coming, all of them made from a scrappy mix of squares.


When I started, I was afraid that some of my blues were too light and would pop out too much, but I am very happy with the way the colors are working together. The Milwaukee Brewers logo was the inspiration for my color choices, and it might need to get worked into the design of my quilt--maybe an applique in the center square?



I'm linking up with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework, Design Wall Monday at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, Moving it Forward at Em's Scrapbag and Monday Making at Love Laugh Quilt.

Happy quilting everyone!

    I love the blues and yellows! So pretty! I followed along, but gave up and gifted my work to a quilting buddy! She will make a beauty out of it. I really like his setting of this quilt! Yours is beautiful!

    I'm glad to see this in these colors as those are what I'm using! Maize and Blue are the University of Michigan's colors, so this will be out on football Saturdays!

    Wow! You did get a lot done. I didn't even realize Kevin had the new clue up till I got an email from him this week. Love your blue and yellow version. I'm hoping mine works out as well.
