The Carnival Wrap-Up

The Carnival is Leaving Town! 

As with all of our Cotton Cuts Puzzle Mystery Quilts, on April 26th, the Big Reveal of Carnival brought the Spring 2023 PMQ to a close. We were so excited to reveal the layout of Carnival, and see how this incredible design came together. As always, it is a thrill to see how these different colorways make each quilt look so unique. 

Here are Eddi Plager's Log Flume and Robin Turnerryan's Fortune Teller.

We have encountered a lot of FIRSTS with this Puzzle Mystery Quilt. 

Let's reflect back on a few highlights from our Carnival ride.

1. For this round, we had 16 colorway options available, which is more than we have ever offered before. And let's be honest, they were all fun and beautifully coordinated. 
2. This was the first time we asked our Cotton Cuts Fabric members to help us name our colorways. We asked you to vote and your enthusiasm and responses were overwhelming. Thanks for helping us with that fun project. It's a great activity we plan to continue with our future PMQs.
3. Every cycle, there are detectives who try to piece together the final layout as the mystery starts to wrap up. Its has always remained a mystery with a few enthusiasts getting close, but not quite figuring it out completely without the instructions. This time, our own Off Kilter Crafter Ian, solved the mystery! 
4. And, to put another feather in a cap, we also had a PMQ participant figure it out as well! Gail Leffert and her husband, John, worked together month by month to twist and turn each piece as Gail sewed them. Eureka! Together they also solved the mystery!
