I don't quite understand when you say 3 of the same med.

If you pick red as your med, you need three of them near the same shade.

OK - I'll be in BUT I go on hols next week for two weeks so may have to catch up when I get back. What's your timeframe for this CB? :D

Depends on when my sister leaves, Parents are coming near the end of the month so hopefully before then. I should have an answer by the end of the day.

I would love to. I'm not on here too often, but hopefully I can catch up!

I will be patiently waiting for "Show & Tell"

I wanna play too!!! (Groan -- like I don't have enough to do already... :D )

I hope I'm not to late to join in!

I'm going to follow along too....have never tried a mini and if its 39" then I can use it for my baby quilt committment at guild...we need to make 2/year so I'll bookmark and try and keep up

Would love to join......... just as long as directions are there and we can work on at our own pace.- just in case I can't get to each step when posted.
Sounds like fun................ I want to join.
Scrap

I agree--count me in.
I have a lot on my plate (not french fries or onion rings!)right now but would welcome the diversion.
I have to be out of town next week so hope I can get caught up upon my return!

Great. it is so good to see so many people that are interested, everything will be posted and left there for anyone that is either late showing up or is a bit slower in the work.

I am just proof reading the cutting directions and will have them posted shortly, I plan on doing it on the 22nd of Aug, which is a Sat, for those that can't make it that day, the directions will be put out in one download at the end for ease of printing out.

I hope this fits with more schedules.

Mini Mystery #1 by Cutebuns

Cutting Instructions

Blocks
Dark A 1 3 1/2” x 40”*
B 1 3” x 40”*
C 1 2 1/2” x 40”*
D 1 2” x 40”*
E 1 1 1/2” x 40”*
F 1 1” x 40”*
Med G 3 1” x 40” * (use same color, different fabric)**
Light H 12 1” x 40”*


Borders

Dark A 1 1/2 “ x 80”
Med B 2 1/2” x 100” (to match the med above)

Batting & Backing

Approx 28”x28”

Binding

Dark 2” x 100” (this is what I cut for binding, use what ever width that you normally would use)


*If using scraps, cut enough to equal 40” or more, does not need to be all in one piece.
*Two strips if using FQ or one if using the full width of the fabric.

**I used Orange in one and Red in the other one. (yes, I did two)

I will start a new thread on the day of, just to make it easy. For those that are just following along, I will be adding them together so you just need to download one file at the end of the mystery, so you don't need to download along the day, I will be posting them like this, so that you can read and see what everyone is doing without the download.

I'll give it a try. :roll: Like I don't have enough to work on right now.

It is 24 inch square but they are 3" blocks so you can easily make up a few more blocks and make it bigger. Or just add some more borders,

If you need help doing it just let me know and I can help as we go along or later.

I assume for a more scrappy look you can use more then one fabric to equil the 40"?

absolutly, you can put in lots more colors, though 40" isn't long, if you have several per 40" strip, I would add a bit more.

Ok. so am I safe in having strips in multiples of 3?

Yes, I will even have instructions on using strips shorter than 40"

You rock!!!

great!, I love to Rock!

Okay I'll give it a try--the "mini" part sucked me in--I'm checking out the scrap bin asap!

Sounds like a great way to spend the day, I hope to join in. Are you going to be posting to "Chat" like Patrice did when she taught the wedding ring class? Or just be using a posting in the board?

I will be posting the general directions in the Tutorials, and I will be in chat to help everyone along and see how everyone is doing, I hope to have another thread in maybe pictures so that people can show their work as they go along.

Great, thanks for taking the time to put this together!

I am really enjoying myself. It has been a lot of fun and I have gotten a lo tof encouragment along the way.

Has everyone already chosen their fabrics?

May I ask how big this is going to be? I am thinking about incoporating it into an isolette cover and am wondering how I am going to do this....

Cool. I might give it a whirl.

Just a reminder for those that are planning on doing the mystery, it is next Sat morning, so if you have not yet, you might want to start looking through your scraps etc and start your cutting!

It's getting closer :D :D :D

I'm gonna have to lurk on this one, but will look forward to checking in and seeing what everyone does. Be sure to have your cameras close by ladies!!

Oh yes!!! I will be documenting this one LMBO a first mini and mystery quilt :shock: :lol: :lol:

I already have all my pictures taken! :shock:

LMBO :roll: :roll: I hope so CB :D :D :D
