I started this quilt as part of a mystery BOM designed by Stephanie Satterwhite hosted by Seattle MQG. Having never done a mystery quilt before I was skeptical at first but knowing Stephanie I knew it would be a great pattern. I decided to use fabrics from my stash only and found that I had a stack of pink Kona cottons available since I rarely use the color. The pink was quite overwhelming so used a complementary color to balance it out. The blue fabric is from Modern Solids II collection by In The Beginning fabrics. I absolutely love that color.
I documented the progress along the way.
The BOM was a lot of fun and it was interesting to see everyone's progress over the year. There were some amazing color palettes and you can see all of them using #begoniaquilt on Instagram. I finished this just in time for my niece's college graduation and I know will be much appreciated.
That's a very pretty quilt. The quilting sets it off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy. I settled for simple quilting to not take away from the design itself.
DeleteYour color palette is just perfect with this beautiful blue, lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue too!
DeleteI love the pinks and the blue looks great with them. Though I was not in the sew along, I loved seeing the progress on IG and your quilt is as stunning to look at. Enjoy your finish! I am sure your niece will love her new quilt :) xo Melanie
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie. Yes she does love it.
DeleteThis turned out beautifully, Rachel! Love the blue you used to offset the pink. Wonderful finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. I have been looking for more of that blue but it has been hard to find.
