Macaron Mystery

In general, I don’t do mysteries very well.  I like to make informed choices.  So, when the Meadow Mist Designs introduced her most recent mystery, I headed for the “peek” option.  A friend was diagnosed last year with thyroid cancer, so I planned this quilt for her.

The backing (ah, blogger arrangements) was a piece I hand dyed last summer.  I love it.
The pattern was delightful as always.  Please dismiss the distraction of the green setting triangles.  They weren’t green, but my green batik bled.  Badly.  I soaked the finished quilt for two days and still have green triangles.  (Shrug.). Let’s pretend it was a design choice.  And it would be flat if I’d taken the time to smooth the folds out.  I am generally in too much of a hurry and it shows.
This is (as usual) not a pattern I would have chosen.  I like it very much.

It's beautiful, but still a lot of neutral in the background. Your next one should be all color.

i like the quilt and I don't mind the green setting triangles at all! It's definitely not your style but it's a pretty quilt and will be a great comfort quilt from your friend.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
