Everyone's blocks are so cute! BattleAxe - hope you enjoy the Goshen auction, I am seriously jealous!
I am prepping to go to a retreat next weekend, so I plan to cut my strips at home, but sew at the retreat. And of course, Clue 2 will come out while I am there, so I will need to pack all the fabrics and rulers not knowing which will be used next.

Kristi and Angelia, your blocks are looking great! I also have never made 9-patches this small, and I agree, they are very cute!

This is so much fun seeing everyones blocks come together. There is such a variety of fabrics being used, it would be so cool to see them all next to each other

All of the blocks are so cute. I love little nine patches. I have finished mine and did not spin the seams although I do think they look so much better and lie flatter.

Everyones blocks look great I am going to start mine today. I'm pleased it's a quick easy clue this week as I have a few other projects that need to be done before the next clue comes out

Bluebonnets,
Love the idea of the Civil War prints - may try to do this as well - have never done a mystery quilt and am a little be unsure if I can even do this - but hope to try.

You can do this! Mainly it's just lots of sewing and loads of fun. I enjoy seeing everyone's choices coming together and learning together. I have become, I think, a mystery quilt junkie. I especially enjoy those who choose different colors and their confidence with it. This is my first Bonnie Hunter mystery to change the colors and I actually didn't stray far just chose civil war colors and prints. The corals were a problem so I went lighter rusty reds. I thought about cheddars or double pinks.

If you love the civil war prints, I think you would be happy with the result.

If you are unsure of any of the clues or whatever, just ask here. I am always amazed at the talent here on the Quiltingboard.

Finally got my first one done correctly. I kept making it too small.[ATTACH=CONFIG]584321[/ATTACH]

Hi,

These are the fabrics I’m using for the MQ. I’m substituting the brown with the green. I can’t decide on how to do the red and gold. Do you think it matters?

Marie
