This was one version of the MeadowMist Designs Mystery Quiltalong for 2019-20
(I had pulled two lots of fabric from my stash and couldn't decide between them, so made two!)
The quilt finished at 58" x 69" and is such a lovely, vibrant colour scheme.
The quilting was kept fairly simple, with some echo quilting and a geometric point-to-point design in the larger black shapes. The backing was also from my stash.
I had the top finished back in February but did not get the chance to quilt it until during the
Covid lockdown and had no idea what I would do with it when finished.
The day I finished binding it, I heard news of one of my awesome pupils from last year, Jesse, has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and undergoing chemotherapy treatments. When I saw the quilt drying on the floor of my lounge the next morning, he was the first person I thought of and I knew I wanted to gift it to him, so I appliqued his name to the bottom edge.
Update: 27th June 2020: Jesse had the wonderful news this week that his chemo treatments
have been successful and he has been given the all clear! Well done Jesse!!
What a stunning quilt, great mix of colors! It's a beautiful gift.
