I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilts #271: Grassy Creek Mystery Quilt 2021


This is Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek Mystery quilt which she released in November 2020.  This is Bonnie's 18th mystery quilt and my second Quiltville mystery quilt.  


I worked on the top sporadically so it took me a year to complete.  I was determined to finish this quilt before Bonnie released the first clue of her new 2021 mystery quilt which is always the day after Thanksgiving.  


I never would have thought this color gray combo would work but I love it.  I'm not one with enough vision to come up with my own color scheme but I trust Bonnie's color sense and always stick with her colors.


The backing is a new sheet printed with green and gray leaves which I thought was perfect for this quilt.  I used a gray binding which I sewed on by machine.  I used Warm and Natural batting and quilted it with a simple scroll edge-to-edge pantograph.  The quilt measures 92" x 92".
