Last week’s post (June 23, 2022) was about my “official” purchased “To The Point” Brown Bag Mystery Quilt created my Karen Montgomery. The steps seemed quick and easy so I decided to hunt through my stash of fabrics and come up with enough fabric to make a second quilt.

This quilt has gone to the dogs!! One of the fabrics had 2006 date on the selvedge so that gives you an idea about how long these fabrics have been stashed!

Because this was a mystery quilt and I had NO idea what the final quilt would look like, pulling my own fabrics was sort of a double-dare! I took my clues about feature fabrics and color values from the fabrics in the official brown bag I purchased. (See my last post last week and the March 17, 2022 post).

Folks in the Brown Bag Mystery Facebook group were always reassuring others that the fabric requirements for the project were very generous. So I took a risk and used the red banana fabric which was theoretically ample but actually had had a couple pieces cut from it for another project. I did have JUST enough in the end! Whew!!

The dogs in the focus fabric at the center of each star have the goofiest expressions. They make me laugh!

This quilt is a generous twin size. It’s a bit larger than I really like quilting at home, but I’m going to try quilting this on my domestic sewing machine. I have an idea for a bouncing ball free-motion design.

Don’t hold your breath! Could be a while before it’s complete. Summer is not a great time of year to quilt a largish quilt!
