I made half of the required number of units for the full size, thinking I'd make a kid size adaptation. Knowing that I'll have to modify the layout slightly, I put Clue 1, 2, and 3 units on my design wall.
Here's where I'm at so far. The long diagonal will measure 56" after it's sewn, so I think the sides will come out to somewhere around 40". I have plenty of Clue 1 blue and Clue 2 neutral four patches left for borders. I'll continue to lay it out and see if I need more of any units. I'm hoping it'll end up about 48 x 56-60" for a nice kid size comfort quilt.
I love the way the scrappy blues sparkle! Kevin's a master of scrappy quilts that still have a very cohesive look to them.
Thanks, Kevin, for the fun mystery!

I really like the quilt Kevin's designed. I've downloaded the clues but didn't sew along. I've been disappointed too many times with mystery quilts so I wait to actually see the quilt before I do any sewing. Your quilt is going to be beautiful but then blues are my favorite color. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great!! LOVE your beautiful colors!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Gretchen -- I've been burned once too often to jump right into a mystery. On the other hand, I really love your blues, and might give this a try with different borders. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is moving along nicely! Thanks for sharing with moving it forward
ReplyDeleteYour blues are beautiful! They do, indeed, sparkle :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt! Simple pattern but it shows off the blues nicely. I had thought about joining in but honestly couldn't get motivated at the time. Now of course, I wish I had! Sigh. Very nice Jan!
