Lone Rider - Mystery Solved

By -
Lone Rider mystery quilt
63 x 80 inches
Quilt of Valor #169
Alycia's mystery (Lone Rider) wrapped up last Wednesday when the last clue was released. I changed the final layout a bit, turning four of the on-point squares into pinwheels, to add some visual interest.

Lone Rider - clue #5
This quilt is larger than the ones I typically make for Quilts of Valor - I'll prepare a wide back for it this week.


Finished quilt tops are hung by the patio door so I can enjoy them for a couple of days and are wrapped with the backing and binding.

I fixed the flipped blocks soon after they were drawn to my attention. (Thanks, Regan!)

    What a fun variation! I wanted to join in on this one, but life has been keeping me away from sewing of any kind. I love Irish Chain quilts and your pinwheels really make this one shine!

    So pretty Nancy. The change you made is perfect. It adds so much movement to the quilt. Your hanging solution is very imaginative. Now, why don't I think "outside of the box" more?
    Blessings,

    Another great QOV, and I love your idea to hang them up to enjoy for a few days before they go away to be quilted!

    Hi Nancy! I love this quilt! But is it too late to fix the 4-patch blocks on the far left towards the bottom....they got flipped! Don't know if you noticed or not....thought I should mention it before it goes to the quilter. Big hugs! Regan

      Thank you, I did not see that flipped block! The seam ripper will get a workout tonight.

    Glad someone noticed the flipped blocks. I'm late to reading blogs but did notice it. I really like the pinwheels -- they do add interest and motion in the quilt. You've done a great job.
