You have explained it very well. :thumbup:

frugalfabrics 12-30-2010 06:24 AM

Ok, I guess I better get sewing. How long do we have before the next piece is shown?

Short an Sweet 12-30-2010 06:43 AM

we only have 1 piece when we have finished (as shown in the final picture)Correct? or are we supposed to repeat multiple times?

oatw13 12-30-2010 07:39 AM

Oh boy, I was going to do this, but I never picked my fabric! lol
Better get busy! :)
Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for posting. Just so I understand, I want to have 168 of the finished piece shown on page 17 for the queen size quilt?

I love that you have all the different sizes listed in your instructions ... but am still confused for clue #1 - what is the 1a? Are we making two sets? one with twice as many as the other?

Example - crib size:
1 - square color 1 and rectangle background color, 160 pieces - when sewn together you will have 80 rectangles with one corner contrast triangle.
1a - same thing, but 80 pieces, will have 40 constructed rectangles with corner contrast triangle.

Then repeat with the contrast triangle mirrored.

Put together 1 with mirror 1 for a total of 80 pieces; and then put together another set from 1a/1a-mirror pieces for 40 more constructed rectangles. Total 120 constructed blocks. Is that right?

frugalfabrics 12-30-2010 08:56 AM

ok, thanks...I better get my fabrics in order too!...clean out sewing room, find the rest of my fabric for the mystery, visit on quilt board, and SEW...

LOL Whooaahh Linda.. :) You start out with clue #1.. it is just the two sections of a small triangle on the rectangle.... then you sew the two sections together..to make a big triangle with the background on either side..So say for instance you are doing the Cribsize.. it calls for 160 pieces in Clue 1 so 80 pieces will be a background with a triangle one way.. and 80 pieces will be with the triangle the other mirrored way..right? Clue 1a sews both those pieces together... In the end you will have 80 pieces total? Did that help? I have a pieces list now for you all to look at. I hope this helps

Oh,Missy, you are so on the ball!!!
I just got back home yesterday from Disney, and will start cutting and sewing this week.
Hope you had a fabulous Christmas.

I am glad that Linda asked because I was wondering too.

Thanks for clearing up the question.

Then repeat with the contrast triangle mirrored.

Hi! Missy, I got my first set block finished. Never done any like this before, came out pretty good. If turned with points down, would they be consider flying geese blocks. Why I ask, I'm wanting to work on a sweatshirt jacket that calls for flying geese blocks and the blocks I just finished look like the blocks called for on the jacket layout.
I'm fairly new to quilting so I don't always know the correct name for some blocks. Take care, Chris

Yes Seweasy, it's a 'variation' of a flying geese :) You are doing just fine! HUGS! Send us pictures so I can post them on my blog!

Here you go, Missy. I think you said the blocks would used in a north, south, east and west direction so that I set them up. I love the colors so far! Can't wait to see what they look like with the rest but they blend so well with the roosters. Chris

Is it possible to make this quilt scrappy? Do you know what the fabric requirements are? This is the first year that I've seen this, and am not sure about what I need. Judy

Blinky 12-31-2010 02:27 PM

I have not seen the Mysi's Mystery before. Is it too late to start and if not how. Looks like it may be fun!!!

You can do it scrappy... I haven't figured it out that far. But it is possible to do it that way.. Maybe give me a few days to culminate and figure...or like if you have 1/2 yd of tan and another 1/2 yd of tan you can designate that as your background fabric.. like that. Does that help? I will see what I can scare up for you.

Blinky 12-31-2010 02:43 PM

Thanks, Missy! Just signed up!

Short an Sweet 12-31-2010 02:50 PM

well, I will have to hold off on doing the mystery quilt, I will have to see if I can find two of the fabrics here locally, I bought my fabric off of the first fabric requirement sheet so I am about a yard short on one and almost 2 yards short on another and of course they were some of the ones I purchased in Ft. Worth .... (which is about 4 hours away)

candi 12-31-2010 02:53 PM

All righty, all my fabrics and strips are cut, and now I just need to sit and sew, I should be able to get it the first clue pieces done by Wednesday. Woo hoo!

Missy, the photo gallery is a great idea, and so many great fabrics, I can't wait see how these quilts will turn out.
