The guild's annual mystery quilt began last month. It's designed by a talented member and available by subscription ($10). I signed up and saved each week's clue but I didn't get started until Sunday (week 7). The project is at the assembly stage with two more clues to come.
The background is cut from a wide back and the 'stars' are from a FQ bundle of Grunge.

Today is the day for the SAHRR 2026 final link up. Regular readers have seen this before. I'm still tickled with the way it turned out!
The starter is repurposed from a publisher's tote bag (2019 ALA conference).
The back and the hanging sleeve feature book-themed fabric.
This wall hanging will be donated to the scholarship auction at the 2026 ALA annual conference in Chicago at the end of June.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your SAHRR finish; it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting mystery quilt. Your SAHRR turned out beautifully. It should do well at the auction.
ReplyDeleteSuch a satisfying SAHRR project! And it's suggested to me that I look more critically at event tote bags.

The guild mystery quilt looks really fun, and has a modern look with the stars, squares, and triangles floating here and there! Love your SAHRR, too. Such a neat idea to repurpose that tote bag for the center!

Great quilt! I love a good repurpose/upcycled project.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those who win thel bid for your quilt for ALA will consider themselves lucky to get such a treasure -- I would! Congratulations on a wonderful finish for the SAHRR 2026. It's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the reveal of the mystery quilt. I only ever took part in one at our guild and ended up disliking the quilt in the end so I've never played along since. Actually, I tried to take part in a second one which was a celtic design but not being able to see the finished project meant I chose really terrible colours so that one ended up in a yard sale for someone else to finish.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good start with those mystery blocks! Your SAHRR finished so well! Thanks for joining in with us this year!
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR turned out great, Nann. I love how you started with a "panel"/bag and made it so quilty.
ReplyDeleteHi Nann, that's a great quilt and I'm sure that it will do well at the auction. Using a bag as a panel is perfect! Have a great day.
