ok now to go back andpage and catch up. sounds like everyone is happy so it must be good. argh I hate coming in the middle! oh goody get to pick fabricoutand has somethingto do with stars.. hum! sounds marvelous!

Elisabrat you're going to really have fun with this! It's coming together really nicely.

This is my first time doing a mystery quilt. This is a win-win situation. I will use all scrappy and 4 patch blocks for stars and high quality muslin for the sashing strips. Thank you!

I'm loving this...did not see the stars coming! Time to decide on A and B. :-)

Got my B fabrics cut... time to fix dinner then cut A

Sewsewquilter I love yours so far. I absolutely love batiks. I didn't use any in mine. I am having a hard time coming up with an A and B fabric. I feel One needs to be lighter than anything I want to cut up. I am really going to have to think about this. I really like this quilt. I didn't get any sewing done today because I was shopping at several LQS all day. I am working on a doll dress quilt that has smocking on it. I need tons of help on it since I don't know anything about smocking.

Smocking?? For me, that'a a blast from the past. I smocked several dresses for my older two daughters and a few for the younger two. The easiest was on gingham - another memory word. Now you make me want to make a smocked pillow.

Loving the pictures. I have my dark cream for A, but no B yet. I'm thinking a dark red, which I don't have, but as this is a stashbuster quilt, I will find something else. Gold if there's enough contrast.

Wow, Irish - yes, blast from the past -- smocked yokes on gingham for little girls dresses -- made them for my DDs when they were little, in the early 70s. Loved doing it, it was easy and calming.

I'm on board but just barely. Used a couple of charm packs but, may regret before done. Will finish this one and than may do another that is truly scrappy. Everyone's blocks look great. I can't do pictures, but do enjoy looking at all those that are posted.

I love smocking, remember those smocked maternity dresses? I made one then when I had my daughter cut it up into a baby blanket, kept the smocking part for a pillow, oh what fun that was!

I am still deciding on my A and B fabric.

The 30's fabric, from what I can see with out taking the box out and no time for that~ looks to be not 30's but more like early 50's? not sure... But I have a great quilting group that has many many years of experience, I am taking it there when I get back from Oregon. But today I relax and work on my mystery quilt!

Can't wait to see what you ladies come up with. Football is on the TV and I am really enjoying my sewing room. I think I will sew on the Mystery Ride 3 until I get to go and find my A & B fabric.
