I have finished my quilt top for the Quiltmania 2019 Mystery Quilt by Jan Kingwell. It is actually half quilted, when the Bernina got "sick" and will probably need some expensive "treatment".
I changed the final setting because I didn't like the split stars on the corners as the final clue on the magazine suggested.
I am shocked with the quality of the fabric. I have never had this much problem with fabrics before (see photos below), I am wondering what is the thread count and when did the industry changed so much....

hmmm . . very thought provoking. Perhaps we are paying for a designer name rather than the quality of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your fabric choices for the mystery quilt are spot on good.
