I think they look great together. You are lucky to have a stash.

i havent found a mystery quilt project for superbowl sunday yet. both merry mayhem and planet patchwork both said they were not having one.

We could make our own ???? OR just meet up and have a sew in day , we all work on whatever and chat as we go along :) Share our progress - OR we find a previous one on line and see if the author will let us do it here , with Patrices' approval of course

Good ideas Sharon. I like the first one the best, with beginning and ending pictures and chat in between. It could be our own Super Bowl of progress.

i'm glad i found you, too! i gave the fabric to my husband to show my intention to make him a quilt and had this mystery quilt in mind! nice to have company! i haven't cut it yet. i'll probably be running a little behind you as my old sewing machine just fizzled on me so i'll be using my fw till i can either get a new machine (fingers crossed) or get my workhorse fixed. meanwhile, i have projects with deadlines to meet! don't want to disappoint any one! glad to have buddies to play with!! 8-)

Nancia Welcome aboard- since this is coming out in segments separated by months plenty of time to work on it :thumbup:

Fabric is cut for the squares and will get them marked on my down time at work tomorrow. Nice we have the time to do this one, life is getting busy around here!

what fabrics did you chose? i still need to find a copy of the magazine. does the beginning instructions sound like this will be a traditional pattern?

I really want to do this with you all. I will look in my stash and see what I can come up with, I have the magazine and pulled it to look at again after this thread was posted. Would love to see the fabrics you all are using.
