Yoko Saito's Mystery Quilt - 50 Variations

At the 20th European Patchwork Meeting in Alsace, France, Quiltmania presented an exhibition called "50 Variations of Yoko Saito's Mystery Quilt", which was published in Quiltmania magazine during 2012. The original quilt was displayed amongst the reproductions or variations of this appliqué masterpiece as well as one entry which is a miniature version. I only had a very short time to take these photos, so apologise that I did not have time to take a photo of each one, or record the maker of each quilt. I have started my own version of this quilt during 2012, so to see all these wonderful quilts in one place was just amazing. I do hope you all enjoy seeing how different each one is:

The Original Mystery Quilt







by Anneke Bos



















This one by Toussein Martine:



and this is the miniature version by Michele Armanet, France


Miniature mystery quilt, only 58cm x 69cm








I hope anyone contemplating making one of these will have plenty of inspiration above. If anyone knows the maker of any of the above quilts, please contact me and I will happily add their details to their quilt.

    Hi Annelize, what a nice surprise to see my quilt (the 5th quilt, the one with the light blue border with stipples) on your blogspot. I was not able to visit the exhibition, so it was lovely to see all the different variations on your site!!
    My name is Anneke Bos and I live in a village called Epe, the Netherlands. I hope to see all the quilts in Madrid in October!
    Kindest regards,
    Anneke

    I am so glad you found this Anneke, the exhibition was amazing, so many people were commenting on them, it was hard to get in a position to take photos! I will add your name to your quilt. Enjoy the show in Madrid :-)
