Of course, mimi, and yes the ladies will love them. And they are so fun to make.
FYI -- this train will plow on through any kind of crud Father Nature can throw our way. We outfitted the train with a special Snowplow on Steroids, nothing will stop us.
I'm really hoping this will be a surprise, I know I've surprised many of you on my previous mysteries, but this one won't really be a really big surprise until the last clues. Hee hee. Half of the fun for me is seeing how some of you put things together in a guess at where we are going to end up. I really love doing these mystery quilts.

Hope you don't mind me copying, but these were scraps and now they won't be! I was ready to leave the train. Thanks! Love this group!!
I am so anxious to see your floral blocks that you have already cut out. I am so glad that I was able to give you some inspiration. This train ride is going to be so much fun. See you all soon on this thread!!

The picture is as goofy as I am!!
I think you & I should have gotten together & shared flora'ls between us!! Absolutely Gorgeous, thank you for sharing.

love the colours you picked out

Fabrics for mystery quilt 6
Well I got my squares sewn and managed to get a pic before the batteries died in the camera. My scraps are special since they all come from a box of scraps given to me after a dear friend passed so this is my memory quilt for her and the fun times we had working at the SW WA Fair, as well as quilt guild.
