I saw a link for this Downton Abbey themed mystery quilt along back in December and was intrigued. I don't do many mystery's because I have yet to love a final quilt. I do, however, love the process. And I love Downton Abbey. And I love doing group projects. So I jumped in and joined the fun. Each part of the mystery is released with a new episode on Sundays.
Part one was last Sunday and here is the resulting block:
Its huge. 20 inches. I'm thinking it might be the middle of a medallion setting. We shall see.
I bought a kit of Downton Abbey fabrics for the top from the Fat Quarter Shop. I didn't care for all of them (not a purple gal) so subbed in some others.
I also ended up changing the fabric placement. Something I tend to do a lot of. Really hoping it doesn't mess up the look when I add on other parts. There's always the seam ripper, right? LOL!
There is still time to sign up for the mystery if you want to play along. Check it out at LoveBug Studios.

It looks like fun and that is a great block.
You must be on Rose's Team. Rose's team fabric does have a lot of Purple in it. You know who likes that color, don't you? Hint, Hint! I'm almost done with my first block. Maybe tomorrow on the BLOG. I'm thinking it is a Center block as well. Curious about the next block. Thanks for sharing the link with our WASIQ group.
Sounds like fun - but alas, I won't join in, but I will love seeing your blocks and sharing through you!!
Blessings and hugs!
OOOO, I like that alot !
