I Finished Mystery quilt 2025 Clue #3

Colorado - last year’s mystery quilt 2024 by Edyta Sitar

If you read here you know that I’m working on September/October’s mystery quilt led by Edyta Sitar over at Laundry Basket Quilts. Edyta designs for Andover and I do love her work. I decided to try her mystery last summer, and it was not particularly hard or long. I decided to go ahead and do hers this year as well, but it started shortly before we needed to go to the states for a couple of conferences! So I just waited til I got back to even start.

I am using fabrics from Fancy That Design House - found here on our website. Stefanie Slewinski designs for Moda and I do like this line of fabrics - so much so that I asked Rachael to buy it! :) So here I’m using it in this quilt.

I do know where the quilt is going, however, so it’s not a mystery for me as I’ve seen it completed. Which is as I prefer these days. Fabric is expensive and my time is even more valuable. As a result, the idea of making a quilt top I will not love is not appealing to me. So, I waited til I saw what others have done with this mystery and am going to attempt to make as beautiful of a top as I can!

Starting with next week’s clues I can start putting the top together since it is a medallion quilt, so I will be literally building it from the center - out. I like doing this kind of quilt anyway, so it’s not a difficult idea for me.

One such quilt I made back a few years ago was this wedding quilt which ended up in Kyrgyzstan as a gift to a young couple. Several people had said they would like the pattern, but I’ve never made it - is it still something anyone would be interested in as a free pattern?

Anyway….

Here is the next set of clues for THIS year’s 2025 Mystery Quilt by Edyta.

This week I had to make some flying geese. Flying geese and I are not good buddies - at least not yet. I did try a method that I did like and that was the four at a time method. However, Edyta does not ask you to use that method, and I was following her methods in this. At least this time.

A couple more clues and I think I will make some of the blocks the way I prefer.

Anyway, you have to cut the centers and then add the triangle corners and you are done.

24 flying geese - and I ended up sewing 6 together so there are 4 groups of 6 all ready to go together on this top as soon as I get the next set of blocks finished.

So at the end of this clue nr 3, this is what I have finished so far. As I mentioned, since I already know the next clues, I am more excited about them and am kind of eager to get going on them. Obviously nothing is stopping me from doing that except myself.

Thanks so much for coming along with me on this journey!

Have a great day wherever you are reading this!
