Mystery Unveiled

 
 
My March Mystery Weekend Quilt top is done!
 
Warning!

I am really happy with this mystery pattern
 
and with my quilt top ...
 
 
I am calling this quilt
"Torrents of Spring"
 
The reference is to Eugene Bozza's "Aux Bords du Torrent"
from "Jour d'été à la montagne."
There is a 20 second clip of this on my playlist. 
It is a flute piece that I have enjoyed hearing my daughter play.
 
If you are looking for good directions for a Bargello Twist Quilt, these instructions were very easy to follow.
 
The fabric requirements are written for three jelly rolls of 40 strips that have two of each fabric, but I cut from some yardage I had in my stash.  A half yard of 20 different colors or fabrics works well.

Pattern by Jessica J.E. Smith also available Here
 
I am thinking that I would like to make this again as a monochromatic or two-color quilt.
 
This will be pinned up next to my machine while I am figuring how to add a custom border with the scraps I have left.

I think the question mark, the post layout and the flute music reference are all random enough ... ;)

and with

Fresh Poppy Design
even though I am late
just because I always  enjoy all the pretty pictures here.

What a gorgeous quilt top - you can see so many images in the undulations. I always linger awhile on your post to listen to the music, thanks for sharing.

I just listened to 'Aux Bords du Torrent' on you tube. It's a lovely piece but sounds quite difficult to play. But your quilt is amazing. I'm not exaggerating - I was reading slowly down you post and when I saw it I actually gasped at how stunning it was. Congrats :)
