Okay this is the first I've posted on this new format and I'm here to tell you I'm in the dark! I will see if I can attach a picture. I have only cut a few scraps for step 1, black and neutrals. Will choose the colors as the steps progress. I've made every one of Bonnie's Mystery Quilts starting with Nov 07, Carolina Crossroads. They have all been my top priority but I have other projects I'm trying to finish before the end of the year so this mystery will be a fill in.

oh, your colors are lovely coyotemagic. I've gotta go dig through scraps now. . . be right back.
|
Don't forget to check out Quiltville on Facebook. Folks are sharing their progress over there too. Boy some of these folks work fast!!!
|
Love all the different colors. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
|
Great start with the color choices from both of you. I need to get home first and go through what I have to see which colors I will be using. Can't wait!
|
Where do I find the instructions for this quilt?
|
Watching this one too, I wish I could join in but there is way too much catch up here for me right now !
|
I will be watching this thread, I love just seeing the colors everyone is choosing!
|
I haven't been quilting long enough to have much of a stash to use so I bought all my fabrics - some from members here! I am using reds, yellows, blacks and neutrals! I am so excited it isfinally here but please be patient. I am probably going to need help!
|
I have a TON of scraps, but, I "think" I might use 4 fabrics only in 4 different colors. I am going to watch this for a few weeks before I dive into that idea first. I love scrap quilts, but need to get rid of some of my massive yardage that just sits on my shelves.

Here is all of the information and the link to the instructons and Quiltvilleblogspot. |
I'm still a bit undecided about colors. I have started cutting for the first part, and boy is it a LOT of cutting. I don't have precut strips of any width so have decided to cut squares first (3 1/4 x 3 1/4"), using blacks and neutrals, like Bonnie. We leave, tomorrow, for a week of camping with family for Thanksgiving, so doubt I will get much done till after the holiday. Have fun fellow quilters and have a very happy Thanksgiving!!

Diane, Awesome Progress! I will love following your progress. You can't go wrong with Pinks/Purples/Teals.
|
OOOO love the colors!
|
Awesome progress, Dianna. Love the colors you are using.
Oh man, I can't wait to get home for many reasons, but sorting through what I have and picking colors for this mystery is a big one :) |

I love the colors I have seen so far! I have started mine, but haven't taken a picture. I have 99 pairs sewn together, so for me that is a good start. Hopefully I will finish these up on Monday since the kids will be at school then lol

Here is the easiest way to make those first HST's for the black and white; our Orca assignment for the week.
Let's see, can I attach a photo? It is more difficult than in the past, but I can't learn without trying. step 1: 3 1/4" square. Sew diagonal, 1/4 " away from center mark step 2: Cut between sewing, diagonal step3: Cut THAT triangle into half, across the sewing line step 4: open up, press, step 5: sew those cute little pieces into a block, which will be 2" square finished size. |
Mine look exactly like yours except I start with 3.5 inch squares and don't cut the hst until I sew them together for the qst.
|
Good tut! I should have done mine that way
|
I mark the center line then sew 1/4" on either side and then cut. Also when I do them will probably use 3 1/2" squares.
|
I started with 3 1/2" squares and had to trim so much off I changed to the 3 1/4" squares. Everyone has to find what works well for them. Enjoy the process.
