a mystery quilt from The Country Yard



           Earlier last week I finished quilting another of The Country Yard's mystery stitcheries.
                                              This one is called "Quilters Theme".


A lovely mix of exclusive stitchery designs and simple piecing. The Country Yard's mysteries are always popular and sellout super quick!


On the string pieced blocks I quilted curved cross hatching, there was of course the 'must do' ditch stitching.


The stitchery blocks were fun not just because of the quilting themed items but the shape of the blocks. I 'ditch' stitched around the main feature of the stitcheries, which is a time consuming but worth it..


The range of fabric is called:"Piecemakers" by Kathy Schmitz. I am using the same range for my own personal quilt using Wendy Briggs stitchery patterns. See here for that post (BTW.....I have finished all the stitcheries, I just need to complete the top and of course quilt it!)



Fancy a look at the backside????....................


A pieced backing featuring a panel that was part of a fat quarter bundle from the same range.


                                             "Anyone want to share mouse for dinner?"

    I really like the effect of the curved cross-hatching in the pieced triangles.
    The cat seems to have attitude. : )

    Love the blue and brown combo and the stitcheries are so sweet ~ reminds me of rows of bunting ~ upside down of course or maybe they are just sailing away ~ either way it looks like a sweet project made all the sweeter with your fabulous quilting ~ R
