Free Mystery Quilt starting April 1
#141
I figure I can always use a neutral color as my focal if needed. I have never done a scrappy quilt before, so I like this. It was so hard not to coordinate colors. I did a liitle, but not like I normally would.
OK, 10:30, time for bed. Need to be up at 4:30 so's I can be at the gym by 5:30 when they open, then come home and sew until about 8:45, then I will head to JoAnn's to be there when they open at 9:00.
Good night all.

Mary, looking good and so neat too! Aggi, I am waiting to decide what to use as my focal fabric, but for those of us that used all different colors for our four patches, and am doing the same in step two, I would think could use just about any fabric for the focal. But if you stick with certain colors in your four patches and step two and more if there are more steps before the focal then you definitly need to wait to be sure of your focal fabric. Does that make sense, sound right? Bonnie has already choose her focal fabric but she also says she is using all different color scraps. I think I am on the right track. :?: :wink: :?

Focal fabric? Who said anything about focal fabric?!! So far we're being "scrappy!" Let loose, girls. Get funky! Abandon matching, using "in" colors, etc. Let your artistic side shine. Close your eyes and pick up pieces! These are going to be such fun and gorgeous quilts! Try not to overthink it. Have fun!

This is my first time doing a mystery quilt and also a scrappy quilt. I'm loving digging through my stash to see what i forgot i had in there. I'm trying to use fabric from quilts I made for my daughters and grand daughters, and ones made for me. I think I'll call my quilt a Mystery of Memories Quilt. :lol: :D

I have been playing in scraps for a bit now and realizing I should have dove into my scraps alot sooner than I did!!! I didn't realize just how fast they have accumulated!!!
