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

It's called 'waste not, want not' here Omak, and I think they are both lovely.

tlrnhi 08-24-2009 02:13 PM

I think they all came out cute!

cutebuns 08-24-2009 02:32 PM

I love how you used up your scraps, it will be perfect for the isolet covers, and a lot of people like pick.

cutebuns 08-25-2009 08:28 PM

I am happy that you found the mystery then. I am working on getting them all complied into one file so there is just one download, maybe save a page or two printing as well that way. I am also going to be including the cutting directions for different size blocks.

I am very happy that it was so well recieved and even more so of the results, those that showed us their work did a stupendous job. Way exceded my expectaions of participation.

sandyJ 08-25-2009 08:37 PM

thanks cutebuns.. for initiating this mystery ! it was fun just to read the chats.. and then see the results.. close to going to sewing class ( only not hefting the machine and supplies... LOL

where in th emiddle of a farmers field???

cutebuns 08-25-2009 08:45 PM

I guess I should change that one day, I live in rural Alberta, just north of Edmonton. Literally in the middle of a farmers field.

Funny story, we had family out last summer for a get together, one BIL emailed me for directions saying that the gps's can dump you in the middle of a farmers field and then laugh, I had to laugh, I had to tell him that it would indeed dump him in the middle of a farmers field.


Glad that you enjoyed following our progression through the day, it was a lot of fun for me. I have a few other tuts in the planning stages as well as another mini mystery.

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 see a star in the Center if that's what you mean - looks great! :D I'm sewing my last row on now so should be able to finish today or tomorrow. Minis are fun.

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!


What a wonderful complement. Thank you so much.

cutebuns 08-27-2009 04:28 PM

cutebuns 09-06-2009 07:48 AM

i am still working on it, Life happened etc and I am a bit behind, I will be working on it this week for sure, probably in the quiet wee hours of the night.

Here is the full version of the instructions, anyone on dial up or that has an issue downloading it, I can email it to you, if there is a lot of problems then I will take some of the pictures out to make it a smaller download.

At the end of it there is the cutting directions for a 6, 9 and 12 inch block as well.

amma 09-07-2009 12:21 AM

Thank you for putting together the pdf on this for us!!!! :D :D :D

mcdaniel023 09-07-2009 02:10 AM

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I look forward to doing the larger versions.

thimblebug6000 09-07-2009 07:16 AM

Like the last couple pictures, they've all turned out so different.

cutebuns 09-07-2009 08:05 AM

I hope to see some of what people are doing with it!

If anyone needs any help at all they can pm me at any time.

What a cute little quilt!! Love the blues and purples! It is interesting how differant it looks from McDaniel's quilt! Differant color choices make such a differance in the look don't they?!

sharon b 09-07-2009 07:55 PM

Thank you for posting the alternate sizes :lol: Have to wait until I am at work to print out, almost out of ink at home :wink:

sewaholic 09-07-2009 09:39 PM

Yippee.
That is so good. Thanks for forgiving the alternate size blocks.
Sending you a BIG HUG.



sharon b 09-08-2009 06:54 AM

sssshhhhh Just printed it out at work :wink:

OrchidQuiltFish(OQF) 09-10-2009 09:28 AM

cutebuns,

Thank you for posting the pdf instructions to the mini mystery quilt. Will post as soon as I get a chance to make it. Great job. Looking forward to others. Hope I get to participate in the actual cyber class of the next one. :)

Quilt4u 09-10-2009 10:21 AM

Thanks. beautiful quilts I love them all.

Ducky 09-10-2009 10:53 AM

Thanks so much for all the instructions and alternate sizes, CB. You're pretty great!

springtime 09-29-2009 05:16 PM

Hello there, I am a newby!!!!
I read your first post about the mini mystery and copied the first posted instructions. At that time I didn't quite understand how things worked. :oops:

So... I thought you would post the "next" directios as before. I've been checking, but not there! :cry:

My question is, may I still get the directions? I have done a couple of mystery quilts at the LQS and it is wonderfully FUN.

Thanks, If not, I will be AOK. Just in hopes to do another Mystery... :thumbup:

springtime 09-29-2009 06:06 PM

:shock: Hi 'cutebuns' I think I have figured this out! :shock:
I have gon through the 16 pages of comments and am in the process of downloading! It may take a while... Still on dialup!
I know, I know it is 2009! :roll:

cutebuns 09-29-2009 06:23 PM

sorry I missed it earlier, We did it a bit ago, and I will be doing another one, I just have to finish up a few things first.

We have several people on dial up,

I know that some are waiting for the instructions, I have to find some way to email them to you, hotmail doesn't like the file. it is to big. I will and have been working on it.

springtime 09-29-2009 06:51 PM

It is definitely a slow process!
Also, I don't have ZIP.
So I waited for ... a while...
And Zip won't let me have the instructions!
I think I can follow everything on your discussion though.
Your written comments are GREAT!
Thanks!

cutebuns 09-29-2009 06:56 PM

you have to unzip it to view it, most computers have a program that will do it, if you right click on the file, the drop down usually has a line that says extract.

springtime 09-29-2009 07:39 PM

:D Thanks Very Much!
I am trying that now. The pop up box says I have only 1 hour to go!
Keep those fingers crossed! LOL
The posted pics are beautiful. I am always amazed at how mysterys can use the same patterns and look so very different.
I have learned so much from reading the posts.
This is a very warm group of quilters. Thanks for sharing.

cutebuns 09-29-2009 07:59 PM

Everyone did a fantastic job on them, I liked this block as there is just so much that you can do with it. It went way better than I had expected,

We tend to have a lot of fun, and I hope you can join us for the next one if I ever get my act together :D

Iluv2quilt 09-30-2009 05:14 AM

Thank you CB for the Zip file and for the alternate sizes, you did a great job on this!! :D

zennia 08-26-2010 09:42 AM

Cutebuns, I just found this thread. I love your mini quilt. Thank You for doing this. I am off to try one.
I love everyones. They are all so pretty.

stormatsea45 09-06-2010 09:22 AM

I just found the Mini Mystery. Where is it that it is post in complete form? I'm on dial up, so will have to wait till I go to my daughter's to do the download. What I have seen looks very pretty and I'd like to do it someday. Thanks.

cutebuns 09-06-2010 09:44 AM

It is on page 15 about half way down. it has alternate sizes as well if you are looking to do something a bit larger.

stormatsea45 09-06-2010 09:56 AM

Thanks, I found it. I like it, and it's not a mystery to me any more, but I don't mind that. It will still be fun.
