This quilt is all done…and already in use! This is my “unofficial” “To the Point” Brown Bag 2022 Mystery Quilt. This pattern is from Karen Montgomery. (See my posts from March and June for more information about this year’s Brown Bag Mystery Quilt). The fabric for this quilt came out of my stash and wasn’t purchased as a Brown Bag fabric collection, which is the reason for my saying this is an “unofficial” BBM quilt!

I finished assembling the quilt top in June, but it was just too hot over the summer to quilt a twin sized quilt on my domestic sewing machine. So, the weather started to cool down last month. i did free motion quilting on the body of the quilt. There is walking foot stitching on the borders and big stitch hand quilting using sashiko thread around the focus fabric in the center of each star.

The Quilt Inspector is a new addition to the family! Not the first quilt he has cuddled up to, but definitely his first formal inspection. He found it quite interesting…but actually had no idea about what he was looking for!

I’m really happy with the quilting on this quilt. I looked at my official BBM quilt, which has a white background, and got cold feet about quilting that one myself. There is just no hiding wobbly stitching on white fabric! So it’s currently in queue at the long arm quilter’s. I’ll definitely do a post on that quilt when I get it back in November.

Meanwhile, I have a puppy who is keeping me rather busy. And speaking of which, I expect I won’t be very productive for the next couple months. So don’t be alarmed if I don’t post regularly. It’s just because I don’t have any handwork to blog about!
