Mysi
How is it possible that I need 4 1/2 yds of fabric to make a wall hanging that is 32" X 32"? Something seems to be off in the measurements. Think I will pass on this. Seems like too much waste of material. Sorry.

You don't need 4 1/2.. that's Kingsize... It goes from Kingsize to Wallhanging...Wallhanging needs 1/4 yard background....

I think she means a total of 4 1/2 yards.

quiltstodo 12-11-2010 10:34 PM

I'm very interested . Some of the wallhanging kits I bought at connecting threads has that much fabric.

Love your print!

quiltstodo 12-11-2010 11:07 PM

Love your large floral. I don't have many large ones since I never know what to do with them. Going to have to pick one up for this.

This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. I've never been involved in a mystery quilt.

Things are always crazy during the holidays so I'm glad we won't start until after the New Year.

SulaBug 12-11-2010 11:20 PM

I think this Mystery project looks very enticing too!!
:D :D :D :D

quiltstodo 12-11-2010 11:33 PM

When does it start? I saw the fabric list but didn't see the start date. I love mystery quilts.

Mysi,
I just want to say thanks for hosting this for us, it's gonna be fun!

I have most of my fabrics picked out..needed to buy more of some:)

sewTinker 12-12-2010 06:22 AM

I picked out some of my fabric last night. Have had Golfing fabric in my stash for a few years. Looks like my darling husband will be getting a Quilt! :-)

Lovely fabric.

pattis47 12-12-2010 08:38 AM

No Mysi, I mean a total of 4 1/2 yds. If you add all the fabric totals to 4 1/2 yds to make a pc that is 32" X 32"

Candace 12-12-2010 09:18 AM

:lol:

Worst part is I joined the fabric moratorium on the board just a few weeks ago. I'll never make till November 2011 at this rate

C.Cal Quilt Girl 12-12-2010 10:36 AM

Will book mark this and follow along, have the fab requirement Thanks.
Like the format thru tutorial better, that way don't have to keep up w/e-mails :) much simpler to go back and check.

Bookmarked and ready to go, Thanks for doing this :)

Candace,
Msyi posted somewhere that the focus fabric will be cut into 12.5'' squares..so a good place to use a large scale print, but she said use whatever you think will look good cut into that size. I hope this helps.

here are my fabric choices so far, I still need 2 more? a solid yellow i think and a red orange maybe.

KarenR 12-12-2010 03:15 PM

Okay - I'm looking at my stash
What do I use- Or do I make a Christmas list.

I bought most my fabric on sale!
Hoffman pine needles with a little bit of gold.
Hunting Dogs or cats - VIP from Walmart
or Laural Burch cats.

Right know the cats are winning in my mind.
What do you think?
