LOL Yes Evil is becomming quite a quilter. One of his favorite pastimes in the sewing room is taking all of the pins out of the pin cushion.

That is great Kwhite, I love your block.

Everyone did a really great job today!!!! I am very impressed, a lot of people probably held back becasue of the size of the pieces, I am so happy to see you guys go for it!!!!! :D

I hope all that go ahead with it this week and after are nice enough to post pictures for me to see!!!!!!

Tigger, one of our old cats did that all the time on me, didn't matter where I put them, she would dig them out and toss them around, if there was a dish of them she would tap it until it fell on the floor, she was such a pain to have in the sewing room, boy do I miss her, she was hit by a car last spring and had to be put down while I was away.

Awww I am so sorry to hear that CB. I hate losing pets. That is a pain like no other. I think it is more painful cause we feel so responsible for them.

we have lost a few since moving out here, she was one of the worse, Maggie the dog was a pretty hard one, she passed this spring

Have the top sandwiched...but it's almost 9 pm so have to clean up and start preparing for my Sis's party here tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good night!

thimblebug, that is just awesome!
everybody did great. I wasn't home for most of the day.
Can't wait to see them all posted.
Cutie, your first mystery mini and you did fantastic! Great job :D

Great job! that looks so good, And so close to being finished as well!!!!! :D

Thank you QC, it was a lot of fun today, I enjoyed it a whole lot.

Can't wait until the next one!

Hi, everyone, I couldn't take part yesterday, as I was out all day, so I just stuck my head in this morning to see how you all got on. I was with you in spirit, but you didn't need me, you all did a fantastic job, and well done Cutie, I bet you couldn't get to sleep last night, you must have been on a high with such a success.

So far the quilts look great. Can't wait to see the rest.

Here is my finished top! :D :D :D
this was so much fun, Thanks so much Cutebuns!!!! :D :D :D

Sorry I missed this one. I so wanted to do it. But my computer went off line and I had to get a new mottram today.

For those that missed it, I will be doing up the directions in the next day or two, DD#1 came home last night from 6 week camp, so have some catching up to do etc, plus, I am in the planning of another one, so hopefully you will be able to catch one, There is a lot of positive response to this one. Thank you everyone for your support! :D

well, Ninnie, I said I wouldn't bother showing you my huge bruise, bc you didn't care for purple, but unless my monitor is messing with me again...PURPLE! and beautiful at that! wow! wtg, Ninnie!
These are all so great! I wasn't expecting anything so pretty to come out of a mystery. wow! :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: thanks, qc, but it's blues, not a drop of purple in it! :wink:
Cutebuns did such a terrific job!!
I had so much fun, that i would do another one! :D

Well I am done with the top. I will be putting on a boarder but I dunt know what yet. I had a great time with this CB thanks for doing this.

that is awesome, another layout! looks great, I love the way it went all together, the quilts are turning out so very different!

Bravo!

wow, another layout, and so pretty, I love those colors!!

Great job! We may be hooked!
:lol: :lol:

Thanks Ninnie. All of those are my yard sale finds.

Another gorgeous quilt!!! :D :D :D

So .... here it is .... I was pleasantly surprised, and after I took the picture ... :roll: I found that I had done a typical Omak trick :oops:
Thank you CB for doing this mini mystery. I am not a fun date and didn't stick in there for every moment, but I was thinking of you <g> ...
Things I learned from the mini mystery ....
1" is too small for what I do if it is little bitty squares <g>
When someone tells you "light" ... big red and white spaces do NOT red light in one inch increments :shock:
When someone tells you medium ... think REALLY dark ... although <g> with the red and white, I don't think they make a fabric dark enough for the contrast the mystery was calling for.
Variety may not always be the spice of life - - at least not in one inch increments <g> .... I think that the little quilt could have handled a light that looks more like confetti falling through the air ... had I kept just one dark color at each of the six dark spots.
And! If at first you don't succeed, by all means, try again!
For now, this is the seed for one of the incubator covers imjustme is looking for, and with all those seams, it will be plenty light filtering <g>.
Without further ado ....

Omak is looks great, and see we learned so much or so much of what not to do!

Certainly nothing BLAH, about your rich looking mini quilt, Miss Thimble.
Good show :!:
<wave>

Good show, Miss Ninnie :!:
With the layout of your mini, I can see all sorts of possibilities from my stash ... how interesting <g>

SO wonderful!
Sometimes, the most straight forward approach is impressive...
I would do another mini JUST to be able to do something like your layout, KW <wave>
good show!

While I was doing the final joining of blocks, they were laying on the table in a certain position ... and, I just couldnt' see that it wasn't going to be anything but a big mess because of my "light" choice ... but, when I got the borders on, and the mini ready for the photo, it really just started looking like I had known what I was doing.
I swear! (even though my mother says I shouldn't) It wasn't until after I snapped the picture that I realized I had turned the left and right upper 2x2 sections ... by then, no way I was going back <g> ...
This was a grand mini mystery, and I will be looking forward to the next one.
In the meantime, I am signing off to go pay bills, finish my THIRD mystery quilt from that one day special that got CB so excited, and put all the scraps from both mysteries into a little quilt for incubator cover ... and THEN! Cut some more strips for another mini ... JUST because I want to do better.
:!: :!: By the way, SUZIC46 ... is there anything in my block that looks familiar? 8)

I love it Omak, you did a great job. I love the design whether you think you messed it up or not,


Another great Mini! Way to go!!!!!!!! :D

So!
I hustled my bustle and except for trimmings, I have put ALL the scraps from the mini mystery together. I wanted Peanut to jump up and pose for me so you could see just how big everything is, but he didn't cooperate <g>
These "scraps" will go into a center of an incubator cover ...
moving on!
Catch y'all later <wave>
I can hardly wait to see what I actually got put together!
THis picture taking thing is very helpful :!: :!: :!: :lol:

VERY PINK! YUCK!
oh, well ... someone is going to love this and, I know I LOVED getting some fat quarters used up ...
Thank you again CB for the mini mystery, and I will be waiting for the next one with bells on my toes and where are the whistles supposed to go???
HA! I AM getting old! LOL

I love your quilt omak!!! I think there is a lot of contrast to it and it will make an awesome isolette cover!!! :D :D :D

Great job, omak. Perfect for a little Girl.

Ooooo I can't wait to see the new quilt with all of the scraps!!!! You are soooo creative!!!! 8) 8) 8)
