Our local regional quilt guild ran a mystery earlier this year, The Spice Route by Dewald Compion. Each of the Guild's mysteries have been locally themed. Cape Town was a way station on the spice route between Europe and the East Indies during the sailing ship era.
Although I liked the final reveal, I didn't want to make a large quilt, so turned the units into two smaller quilt tops. This is the back for the second one (sideways to fit on wall.)
And these are the two tops.
I like doing mystery quilts, and this time I used made fabric as one of the colours. Brown to me represented the spices. By using the leftovers on the backs I'm pleased that there are no brown crumbs or slabs left!
