for some unknown reason "open office" isnt down loading onto my computer correctly. tried trouble shooting but cant find a reason.
anyone have any ideas what i might be doing wrong

I don't care the direction of the stripes, and I haven't decided which position they will be in
There is so much info and questions regarding the Mystery quilt that it's so overwhelming and hard to seperate the material required, the cutting directions and I believe there were "3" instructions from you and I can't find the third ;-) I believe this post is up to 22 or 23 pages.
Maybe instructions and general chit chat should be in seperate posts. Sorry I love reading what everyone has to say, but it's to "Busy" for my brain to seperate from the task. Hope that makes sense. I'm not trying to "Offend" anyone but need clarity. Thanks

Those are so beautiful and elegant.

I know. Missy tried to post needed info on another place on the board and people started putting ?s and everything there too. I think with her doing the blog thing, that we can post our comments, ?s, and pics here and for everyone the instructions on the blog will make it easy to access.

Thank You So much, I bookmarked her Blog and will go there for all the Instructions and Clues. Merry Christmas and thanks again.

It has taken me a couple of days to figure out which fabrics to go with my focal fabric (that was the easiest to pick my favorite of all time)and now have it narrowed down. I have not done any order so would greatly appreciate help with that. At this point I believe I will start..with the wall hanging.Thanks in advance for "all you hard work" in putting this together and helping pick choices. I actually have posted 12 so need to take out some and if needed can swith with different so would love your opinion.

Missy,
Thanks so much! I can't download Word, so a pdf would be awesome!

Judy G, normally I am not a brown type person. However, I really really love your choices.

I would pick the Hoffman Christmas. The pumpkins
would greatly limit your color choices for the quilt,
and the purple is a complimentary fabric more than
a focus fabric. Just my opinion.

We are ditching the effort of Open Office.. :) Since Sadie explained I can do PDF's the way I want to! Thanks again!!

Missy

Judy Fabulous fabric!!! I can't wait to see!!!

Okay I got them lettered but wasn't sure if you wanted them here or other email so will try both... Sorry if duplicates.
I added 2 more that might work better than some??
Just realized I did not mark the last whitich one put an O on it I will do likewise. The one I thought for backgroud but am not sure. anyways here they are.

I'm not a horse person, but those horses are beautiful.

Thanks. I know isn't if fabulous! I am a horse person but do find it hard to find "real" looking horses, but when I bought this I got a bunch. I have made placemats, table topper, backpack purse, wallet/checkbook. Always looking for the right thing to make with it. Have been thinking of a shower curtain and or bedroom curtains, but am not sure how to go about that yet. Actually am kind of stingy with it because I always want to have some of it left. LOL giggle.. giggle.. Am also considering King size but know I don't have enough of the other fabrics to do that.

If you look at the pictures closely the ruler has the name of the site I found the fabric on :)

JagSD I love you material picks they are just what I have been searchin for.. Ha Ha.. Are themes will be close.. but you have some awesome materials there.. dont know that my finds will be as great. Im waiting to hit the after Christmas sales.

Most iof these I have collected off and on since I started quilting last 4 years, but most from local LQS. I have seen the horse print on line though(I found my at a fabric store about 70 miles) from here and quite a few others were from when I worked at a fabric store. I can check and see if they have names on them if you let me know which names you might be wanting to find.
Your "Hot" fabic looks pretty cool too!

A, M, K, L if you have names for those I would love to see if I could find em on line.

I will go get them and check from Downstairs, but won't be able to get back on until tomorrow morning so will post them then. Judy

Just PM'D you the info.

Ok....so I decided to quilt along with this! I do have one question that I need cleared up before I start cutting:....do we use the cutting list with the RED heading? I've seen two cutting lists and it's pretty confusing! I printed out both but don't want to mess this up and now is the time to begin!So...do we Keep the RED or the Blue (headings on cutting lists) Thanks, Connie

I have taken the cutting list from the blog page. Will cut when i get the instructions to go ahead. Will keep my eye open to see what is said here.

Ok Missy I went shopping for fabrics today and this is what I came home with.. tell me what you think.. and where they should be used. Totally fell in love with this horse fabric...dont think any of my earthy greens will fit in though... bummer cause I love earth tones.

Very pretty Jenni! LOL It'll be like a horsey winter wonderland!Here's my ideas...

C-Bkg
B-Color2
D-Accent
A-Color1
G-Second accent
E- Inner border
F-Color3
I- Color 4

Love your fabrics! I have a few of those in my closet! :) HUGS.. Is everyone ready for the 30th!?

Missy

You can cut Cuddle.. :) That is the newn' improved list.. HUGS! Thanks for waiting though! Sorry about that Connie.. The one from my website is the best one since I KNOW that one is about right... thanks for the patience and I hope it won't be confusing. The cut list was an addition so I didn't get a chance to really comb that one over..so please bear with me.

Missy

Thanks Missy.... this is gonna be fun :thumbup:

Anytime! :)

Missy, I may be dense (probably am), but I don't see any cutting instructions for the inside border on the cutting instructions posted on your blog, which is what I did my cutting from. I ended up with only 8 cut fabrics, not 9. What am I missing?

For the inside border, I did not do cutting because of sewing.For instance if the quilt you are making is 39x50 in the instructions and yours is 40x51.It would be short. So I would wait til we get to that step and measure what YOURS is. :) We do need 9 fabrics, look at the list and make sure that you have it mapped out so you know which one you're missing.

Missy

Yes, Missy, I do have the border fabric, so will just wait til we get to that step.
