New Year Mystery Quilt
#323
Ok, y'all. I'm still on step 3. Told ya I was slow! LOL
I took a nap yesterday & did some other things.
I love all of the quilts that y'all did with the same pattern.
The scrappy one is great - I love scrappy.
And the batiks - oh, man! They are so wonderful.
If anyone just can't stand to keep the one they made here, I will definitely give you my address & you can send them my way.
I will post pics when I get further along.
This was fun.

Ok, as usual, life here on the farm got in the way and I couldn't even get my fabrics together. DH and I had to spend all weekend replacing a fence line to keep the horses where they belonged, before the freezing ground sets in this week. I have just now printed out the directions and will start gathering my strips that have been cut for a year, for just such a project. I love all your quilts and am trying to decide between a scrappy or a batik jelly roll that I have. I'm glad to see others are behind also.........I'm just probably going to be the last to finisih.

Thank You everyone that was here , posting and having fun with us , giving advice and encouraging us - We will have to keep out eyes open for another one
I know both my Mom and Sis had a blast doing it

Should've skipped the hockey game last night; we lost in a big way.
Today I finished the top:
I really enjoyed this pattern and getting back into quilting after a long slump. I'm ready to work on another project now, though I also hope to quilt this one soon rather than let it join the limbo of my Cabinet of Unquilted Tops. Were I to change anything, I might've used an ivory instead of a stark white-on-white for my light, something a little darker for my medium, and maybe something different for the small cornerstones...but I had to compromise due a tiny bit of un-clearness in the directions. No biggie; it still turned out great.
I've loved all the pictures posted here; thank you, everyone, for sharing--all of your quilts are amazing! I hope to see more as others finish.

Hi Q, I found the same thing with the directions, especially with the last part... fell back on my own knowledge of setting in corner stones and it worked just fine as it looked like yours did as well. Funny we chose the same colors for the main fabric and 1st border LOL.. Great Minds!
