It’s been WIP week around here. I’m trying to get caught up with stitching on some of the QALs I’ve joined. There are no progress pictures to show you, though, other than stacks of blocks and strips of material.
Let me show you my Wayward Transparency top and my Magnolia Mysteries top. I haven’t posted them since I finished them.
Wayward Transparency
I’ve named this quilt Solar Flare. It is probably the most intensely colored quilt I’ve ever made, and I love it. The Kona fabrics are Chinese Red, Flame Orange, and Orange.
I found backing fabric a week ago when we went up to the cabin. When I saw it, I knew it would be just right to fit the colors and the name of the quilt.
I haven’t decided if I’ll quilt this myself or have Connie work her magic on it.
Magnolia Mystery Quilt
This was my first mystery quilt, and I found it interesting to be stitching and not knowing what it was going to look like. I am very happy with the quilt. I like the unusual layout with the negative space. It will be fun to see what Connie does with it.
Although the background fabric for this quilt looks white, is actually a low volume check in gray. It’s a Jen Kingwell print.
Linking up today with Quilt Fabrication and Sew Fresh Quilts.

Wonderful job on both mystery qal
Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed doing the mystery quilt and more glad you liked it in the end! Your Wayward Transparency is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing both quilted, no matter who does it:)
Thanks, Vicki!
That Solar Flare quilt just warms me up on this Minnesota winter morning!!! So neat! And wow, your Magnolia Mystery quilt is a beauty! I love that design. I have the instructions printed off. I need some extra hours in the day to get a round tuit!
Wow…solar fire is beautiful. Love those bright colors.
Thank you!
Love a good Solar Flare. I am nervous it will burn me if I zoom in – so bright are the colors :-p
I just love the subtle, understated backgrounds and much prefer them to the solids. Adds a little extra oomph!!!
Thank you, Preeti! It’s definitely making me feel warmer in these chilly MN temps!
Wendy that WT is so beautiful!! Sunset! But solar flare is the perfect name; those colours are not in my wheelhouse but how I LOVE this!! Wonderful MM too!
Thank you, Sandra!
Solar Flare is a very appropriate name – well done!
Thank you!
Wendy, your Wayward Transparency quilt is gorgeous!!!
I love the Magnolia quilt pattern, yours turned out beautifully 😀
Thank you, Abbie!

love those orange colors – those will wake you up!
Thank you! Yes, they’re definitely bright!
Very satisfying to have two flimsies completed, isn’t it? Both are lovely and so different from each other! Sounds like you’re having a fun and productive week 🙂
Thanks, Louise!
Wow!! I love your Transparency colors!! Your mystery top turned out really nice. That’s one that I’m wishing I had done also.
Thank you!
Wow love both of these. I hope you are able to finish them soon.
Thank you!
Love solar flare-such warm and gorgeous colors!!! The mystery is fun isn’t it? I was just thinking about you and what you are up to…so glad to see your WIPs.
Thanks, Kathleen!
These are both really beautiful Wendy. I almost went for the combo that you used for the wayward transparency. I didn’t do Magnolia no time.
I love the bright colors you chose for your version of Wayward Transparency. Thank you so much for joining the QAL!
Thank you, Yvonne, and thanks for hosting the QAL!
