Kaffe Mystery Quilt

[HelenW]

Elaine Pines, Thank you. I have noticed your modified block alternatives, which are absolutely fabulous. I thought to myself when I saw your first one,
now that is my kind of quilter!!! Keep showing us all your creative modifications.This is all so much fun. HelenW
I just scrolled down and saw your post about using EQ* for hand piecing the block. Again, your creative mind is just ingenious. I am going to remember it
for blocks that seem really hard to piece by machine.

Hope you feel better

Very nice!

Alex said today to post our quilts for all to see on this forum so here goes
Created this while filling my time waiting for Kaffe bundle by working on scrap quilt. This is my attempt to copy Alex’s antique quilt. Used this fabric as my inspiration. Using pastels was a huge challenge for me. I am going to replace your orange with bright pink.
Thanks for your inspiration and guidance.

Here is a picture of the 1st 4 blocks. I just couldn’t score any of the Brassica fabric, I did have the Rowan collection from KaffeFassett so I’m using that. So far I like it.

Love the use of red.

Maybe try some orange instead of gray.

Using your method, does that mean if I happen to buy new fabric I can't use it for this quilt?

[Kbauman]

I think I messed up lol

[jtutton]

Today’s blocks

[jtutton]

How do you find out what block they made already? I'm starting late. Thanks

[Kbauman]

I am a bad one to ask lol. I subscribed to the YouTube channel and it is there. To see the older ones I would just search YouTube.

I struggled with the square in a square cornerstones. I first did it (3x) with scraps. Tossed the first one.sewed carefully, measured my cut pieces, measured my strip sets— the cornerstones were 1/4 inch too big. Can’t trim it down without losing the points— so cut the inside square at 1 7/8 and sewed to the strip set piece. It fits. Really, really trying to be more accurate.
