Month 8, 2025 Designer Mystery Quilt

Block 8 of the Designer Mystery Quilt is completed. 


It used the same white background that has been in all of the other blocks. I was able to use fabric from former blocks and didn't need to cut into the white fat quarter included in this month's fabric packet.

This block was a quick sew. I didn't think to pay attention to the stripe orientation of the fabric in the inside corners or the outside corners. Oh well, does it really matter?

Very pretty! I didn't notice the stripe orientation until you mentioned it!

I like that block! Haha I never notice stripe orientation until I've sewn it up ;)

Now that is one adorable quilt block! Love the fabrics you are using . Well I wouldn't have noticed about the stripes at all. It is just adorable! Happy quilting, Gretchen. Hugs.

That is a pretty quilt block. I didn't notice the directional fabric until you mentioned it. The colors are muted enough, I think, that it isn't obvious.

I don't think that plaid matters at all. The fabric is so pretty, who notices? Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Great block! I think the stripe is better in different directions around the block --- gives it movement. If it didn't bother you while putting it together that meant it worked as it should!

The fabrics are great in this block! I especially like the low volume pieces in the background

The plaid colours are so subtle they aren't obviously going their different ways - and they are perfectly diagonal so I think they look good. I can't stand it when plaids, checks and stripes aren't lined up properly angle wise - that's a lot worse than having a selection of directions in my opinion. Elaine

Love the stripes in the corners.

Pretty block! Great fabric choices. . .stripes can be placed any direction!

If I think about it, I will orient stripes the same way but I won’t re-do any because really, stripes can go anyway, lol.

What a pretty block, and I love the way the stripes are looking. I read them as red and green prints, matching the other colors, their orientation is not noticeable. Thank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up!
