Mawcarol, I love the fabric!!! Awesome!!

I'm going to look and see what I have at home to see if maybe I can swing a wall hanging.......I really am missing out!!!!! :( I want in on it!

How long do you think this will take btw? months? weeks? Just curious. :)

Glad it is after the holiday, got enough to do and I enjoy mysteries so would rather do it when I have the time. Thanks - will pm

We had a lot of people join.. so I'd still be sending out emails!! My poor fingers would be typed out!! LOL

Missy

Thanks Missy and Sue I feel better about my choices now. We are gonna have fun fun fun.

I can hardly wait to get started... I am going on a hunt for focus fabric....

I am curious to how many weeks the mystery will be

I've never done a mystery quilt, but you are all sounding so excited I'm going to give it a try. Mysi I sent you a PM wasn't sure if you still needed to have it.
I love all the fabrics that everyone is showing.

It depends on how many clues I put out. I'm going to see if I can make it a month or so (4 clues. :)) I can't guarantee... So there you have it. :)

Okay I'm in, Now to go search out some Fabric....

I am leaving on vacation in two days. I wont be back until the 30th. Hopefully I wont miss out on too much. i haven't had a chance to cut my fabrics either. Hopefully the first clue wont be too extensive so some of us slackers can play catch up (well at least this slacker:):)) Can't wait.

Enjoy your vacation! Where are you going? Ahhh, don't worry.. movin' like pond scum is ok.. especially if you want to be an individual (teasing you since your husband is the military. That was our favorite saying in the Army. No offense meant, just had to be cute!!) HUGS!! It'll probably be around that time that we will be starting anyhow, so you'll be ready to have some fun!

Missy

Here is my focus fabric for the mystery quilt - haven't had time to look for coordinates yet - after Christmas. This will be my 1st mystery quilt - hope I get the emails & can figure it out. I think I need the updated supplies & cutting list. Thanks.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-83275-1.htm is the cutting list.. and http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-82205-1.htm is the fabric list.

Missy

LOL no offense taken no worries! Yup we are a military family so I got it :) We are going to Idaho to visit both of our families for the holidays! Can't wait to get started when I get back.

GREAT fabric, Jan!

I am so excited. Like many of you, I am a first time mystery quilter (and somewhat a beginner to quilting, but I will trudge through). Anyways, I was at Wal-Mart to get some coordinating/background fabrics and the lady asked me what it was for. So I told her about the mystery quilt. I think I will have another one that will be hooked on quillter's board! She took the website and was really excited.
Can't wait for after christmas. I will post pics of the fabric as soon as it gets here (mail order).

I've decided to try my 1st big quilt and do the Twin/Full instead of the Crib, or maybe I'll do both?

You are killing me.. Laughing over here.. That's adorable Shortn'Sweet! No pressure for me!! I really hope you all enjoy the mystery!!

Missy

Since this is my first mystery quilt I have to tell you it was hard picking fabric and not knowing where they will go in the quilt. Now I will attempt to up load my first picture. Let me know what you think.

I forgot to say that the fabrics are in order from left to right

I really like your choices!

thanks

Question: How do you ladies colour co-ordinate your fabrics so beautifully and so fast. I have a whole lot of fabric and I don't know what to do with it. I just love all you ladies' choices. Will post when I have figured how to from the cell.
Enjoy your day. I am off to do some baking for Christmas. Mainly Greek biscuits and Scottish shortbread. all simple to bake but oh so yummy and fattening!!!!!! :O) ciao ciao

love your fabrics.

VERY NICE!!! All these picks are going to be great! I'm excited for everyone..

Missy

Danny! Yummy!!! sounds so good!! Just a little hint. Look at your focus fabric. On the salvage there are color dots with numbers on it, ok in the USA they do it, don't know about where you are. Use those to choose your colors since those are the ones that the fabric manufacturer used to make the fabric. :) Hope that helps!

Missy

Oh my goodness that sounds sooo easy. Thanks for the great help. So all I have to do is bring the fabric and the selvage with the colours and try and match all the other fabrics. Yeah that is great help. BTW I use the selvages to make pot holders, mug rags etc.... they are so much fun.

Finished all the baking now I am off to sewing room and finish quilting Christmas stockings for my two grandaughters (they get a new stocking every year!!!) Bit late this year.

So excited to start the mystery. The best part is that noone is going to chase me to finish in a hurry.

thanks once again ciao ciao

:)

I would love to join sent you a PM but forgot to add email addy..will do it again..and get it right this time..I think :P

I am trying to figure out what fabric to use here are some of my selections but have no idea what to do now. Which to use as main color , complement color and so on. Am very new to all this. I know I need 2 more colors but don
t know what colors...please help you are great at that!!

If it were me, Lori, I'd add a light/smoky grey and a dark purple.

Sue
