Another MYSTERY QUILT Train Ride - our 5th trip!
#1

Hello and good morning to all! Welcome aboard to new and returning passengers, for our fifth mystery quilt train ride. Today you will get yardage for this project which, hopefully, will appeal to beginners and advance quilters alike. To me, the fun is in trying anticipate the final project. Next clue will be posted on March 9th, and on succeeding Saturdays, by 9:00 MST at the very latest. This time, our journey will last for 4 more weeks and you will have a table runner for the dining room or kitchen, or perhaps that coffee table -- so choose your fabrics accordingly. And with that said -- the only clue I will be giving to what you are doing -- here is what you will need from your stash or at the store.
Four fabrics, labeled A B C D. I would suggest you cut a sample, label it with a letter, tape it to a sheet of paper and keep it handy. (I got confused and ended up remaking a set of blocks because I used the wrong colors.) As you can see from my fabrics I’m getting a jump on the season and am making a Christmas gift. You do not need to do as I did and use all dark fabrics. Just use things you like.
A - ½ yard
B - ¾ yard
C- ¼ yard
D - 5/8 yard
Looking forward to seeing your fabric selections!

I will be digging through my stash when I get home from taking mom grocery shopping. I have some ideas of what I want to pull from my stash. I like the idea of getting started on the holidays.
Thanks again Judy for your hard work on putting these together.

Would you believe that I don't have any Christmas fabrics in my stash? Now I have to go shopping.
This mystery will be a perfect gift for my cousin who always goes all out on Christmas decorating.
