I just finished cutting all my pieces. Yayyyy! Phew, it always takes me awhile to do that part of the quilting, and I end up getting impatient to start. I really do not have a stash, and i did not have a jelly roll, but I came up with odds and ends that people from this message board gave me. I also did not have any cream or beige for the background, but I found a light colored (almost a medium) fabric to use instead. Not much of a choice, but for me, this is the first time doing a mystery quilt and that is what mattered most. Even if mine turns out hideous to look at, I will not mind... I can always use it to take on picnics or to use as a play mat when I am watching my downstairs neighbor's kids. Lolll. I can not wait for tomorrow!
