Just finished the last block.... these little suckers sure have ALOT of seams :) Hmmmm... now what?

Have a good rest of the day!

Time to lay out the blocks. There are any number of designs that you can do, here is a sample of them, some only use a portion of the blocks but it gives you an idea what you can do with them.

Okay here's my blocks ready & waiting :)

I'm sorry, but I've got to get dinner ready. Read you later!

Those are awesome blocks! they are looking really good, they will go in this very well!!!!!!! :shock:

Thanks for being here!

I didn't use these either, they are not complete but it is easy to fill in the rest of the blocks

I really like the first layout and will probably use it. Hate to stop when I'm on a roll, but have to get a cheque over for my retreat deposit this afternoon. Hopefully someone will be around working when I get back, will check in again then.

thanks so much cutebuns for all your time on this, it's been great so far !

awesome, see you when you get back

there are all sorts of patterns to be had using this block, In a few I will show you what I did with the black one.

here it is zipped

WOW ! Great job by everyone ! I have been lurking... I was going to try this along with everyone else, but got a late start to the day :roll:

CB THANKS for all your work on this :thumbup:

you could have started any time, we have some back and we have some up with it, and we have some gone for supper and errands!


Thank you!!!!!!!! :D

This is my block, It's is not perfect, but it sure was fun. I'll have to put mine together tomorrow. We are going out to Dinner to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary.
Thanks so much Cutebuns for all your hard work and all of your time spent.

great job on the blocks!

It has been a lot of fun, so happy to do this, and if there is enough interest, I have another in the works.

Love how everyones blocks turned out!!! I can't wait to see the quilts!!! :D :D :D

Love your quilts cutebuns!!! :D :D :D

Thank you Amma, and thanks for the company in chat as well. I think today went well. Especially for my first time!!!!!!!!!

The rest, though it is easy enough to figure out from here will be posted shortly!

cutebuns,

Your quilts are beautiful and the lay outs are great. However, I love the colors and the lay out in the first one most. I was charting the progress and you did a fantastic job. Looking forward to others in the mini mystery series.

Thank you very much, it is my favorite lay out as well, The colors are not from my scrap pile, it is rather low right now, and after doing the black one first, wanted something totally different, with most of the cuts being so small, it doesn't even put a dent in many of the colors, for the ones that used all one piece for their lights, they still only went through a 1/3 of a yard.

I hope that you consider joining us in the next one!

So I am not sure how or what is left, I am not even sure of the numbers participating. though there are a lot of hits so we have a number of spectators today, which is a good thing as well, maybe next time we can talk a few more into participating. Today has been a lot of fun. I am going to post the rest as it is now not a big surprise, the borders are plain and not pieced. and then for those watching, can maybe start cutting and sewing it now that they know what they are doing!

Time to add your borders, measure length and cut and sew border A on all sides, you should be square.

Press.

Measure and cut border B, attach to the top.

The top is now complete, you should measure approx 24” square.

Sandwich, quilt and bind!

As you can see, I changed the borders a bit on the black one, It just seemed to call for something a little different.

Didn't take me hardly any time to bike over there & back...so will try & put these together now....

Great, I can hardly wait to see them together!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh cutebuns, those are both beautiful :D :D :D

thank you very much Amma, they are really fun to do, I don't generally make the same quilt twice, and I would consider doing this again,


If anyone needs different cutting directions as well for different size blocks, just ask, it is easy to do it up for 3, 6, 9 inch blocks, and one or two in between,


And remember, I will be assembling all the the directions together to make it easier as well, though once you see them done, it is easy enough,

I would like directions for the 9" please. I love this pattern. You did a terrific job on the tutorial. thanks I don't like doing mini's though but will make it large soon as I have directions.

have a great weekend.

Linda D MI

I will put it in when I add everything together, the math is pretty simple on this one.

Cutebuns -- what a fun looking little quilt!!! Thanks for all your hard work! :D

I've printed out all the directions (I think) and will try to do this later on in the week!! :D

great, I hope that you post when you get it done, or even better, as you go along, There are a few that will be doing it probably monday or sew!

Oh good grief..... 2 blocks sewn going east instead of west ! :shock:

put them in a corner or something, they look the same from a distance, the colors are all in the right place

Okay, I'm very slow, are these colors going to work? Where do I start? Oh I'm so confused :oops:

They will work, but if I was you, I would pick out a few more lights than that. so start on page one and use the cutting directions, if you need help, just ask, I am still in chat,

Thanks CB! I just printed out the instructions that are throughout the thread, I'll pick out a few more lights and get started. Sorry I missed all the fun!

that is okay, there is still lots of fun to be had

Here are my strips and blocks.

K, your block looks so good! You do really nice work. It's so nice and even......my sample DJ is all wonky. :roll: Hope you had fun today. I want to get in on the next one.

I see Evil is resting in between tyrades. Lord, he's getting big!

Just went through and looked at the blocks and they are all just so awesome! Love everyone's color combinations. Suzi, yours are going to be stunning! Be sure to post a picture.
