Indigo Way at the Quilt Show

Of the 34 people who participated in our guild mystery challenge last year, nine people exhibited their Indigo Way projects at the guild show. A number of quilts were finished and given away before the show. Some projects are still under construction. 

Please, enjoy the parade! 

Sharleen R. used cheddar as her main color. She ran short of time so she altered the setting.

This was the first mystery for  Viv A. She said she learned to take a victory lap at the end of the piecing. (Stay stitching the edge so that the seams don't pop while the project is being longarmed.)

I so enjoyed watching other people work through the clues and watching their fabrics make beautiful projects. My goal is to finish the previous mystery before the next mystery begins. Had Bonnie started her mystery the day after Thanksgiving, I would have made it; but, she released the fabric amounts a week early!

This was Jeff B.'s first time to work on a mystery quilt. He had never worked with so many pieces with such precise points! Our small group watched his progress every week. He said had we not had that Zoom session, he wouldn't have finished because we provided him so much support! Our guild has an open sew time from 10 in the morning to 11 in the evening on Fridays as way to connect with other quilters. People come and go throughout the day. We had a help session for this project at 7 in the evening.

He ran out of his dark red fabric and added the brighter red. He was concerned that it was too bold a step. We told him it was the perfect add. Later, he agreed! He exhibited in the first time entrant category since this was the first quilt he had exhibited in a show.

This was Corrie C.'s first time to stitch a Bonnie Hunter mystery. She has a longarm business and managed to stitch her clues; but, had to wait for a break in business to put the clues together. She used a different technique in the corners of the border.

Shannon I. created three tops from her mystery. Each was a different layout. Two tops she donated. This was the one that she kept! If you click on the link, you can see other tops that were created or in progress.

This was Sarah N.'s first time making a mystery quilt. While she enjoyed getting the clues each week; she tired of point after point after point!

Linda P. created this entry, She enjoyed using her stash to create her quilt. I like the setting triangles she used  as well as using more an additional border. You are going to learn more about Linda P. in a later post.

Kathy S. used leftovers from previous Bonnie mystery projects to create her project.

Each entry was amazing. I'm glad I got to see them all hanging together! Sharing the exhibit with my readers was goal number three on my April list. Linking up to Alycia at Finished or Not Friday.
