Kaffe Mystery Quilt

[needlecat]

Love this layout with the tone on tones, gives your eye a place to rest but then leads you on to appreciate the work in the individual blocks.

Thank you Needlecat, I started that collection on a trip to central Australia but have a LQS with a great range too.

This is how I am arranging my blocks, although I plan to make 3 more. I want to do hst’s for the border, although I may need some help with that! They are arranged pretty much from light to dark value.

This is my plan, although I want to make 3 more blocks and an hst border.

Using Kaffe from my stash and I limited my blocks to ones that “spin.” Still moving things around on my design wall but liking the vibe.

This weekend I placed with offset seams on the Card Trick Block. I also made the Ribbon block on the left and the modified Ribbon on the right.

Just a thought, Alex, if you’re still looking for something to do. Take a look at Handy Andy, Number 42. It’s a doozy. I did fine until I got to the sewing of part B-C-B. Talk about wonky shapes! I think the cutting dimensions for B could have been bigger, and that’s what I finally did to make it work. Also working out what the final cut size of the various units was a true test of the little grey cells. That last view of the completed block before trimming to 6 1/2 inches was an adventure. Your instruction has been invaluable.

We have the same Kaffe pattern fabric (vintage), but mine is the blue colorway! I also have another blue (primarily, also Kaffe vintage) that I will be working with. I love your blocks and that you chose not to use the white. I am thinking of a totally different set for mine, because I feel that it just needs more white visually to make it work for my eye. White can be problematic because of the strong contrast it creates. It can take the focus off of where you want your eye to go. You don't have that problem in your grouping. Can't wait to see what you do with yours!!
