Mystery quilt train ride #6 - welcome aboard
#671
I started the train rides with the 4th one, I had planed on donating it but after looking at it I just could not part with all the memories in the fabric. So that is my first quilt I ended up making for me. I want to try #2 soon.
But here is a test for my fabric for the points. I think it will still work.

I will just make sure I have the block flipped a little better. I think more solids to the outsides.

thanks, Evie. I love #2 also -- it sits on my round kitchen table, with a beige 60" topper underneath. Also had made a wall hanging out of that pattern to hang over the bed in the the guest room. I love scrappies, and I think I may do another scrappy mystery in the future. I seem to pick up a few scrappy converts with each one.

I have been saving the directions and am looking forward to finishing my reno on the kitchen so I can play. This is a winner, Judy. A favorite?? I don't have one, but #4, the scrap buster has been favored my friends and family.

Am I the only one that has found out that if you twist the blocks a certain way the sashing matches up? This was discovered while in pursuit of the ever elusive goal of keeping the same color from touching. I am calling it an innovative design element and leaving it the way it is, since my triangles (set-ins) and sashing are the same color it will hardly show. My story and I'm sticking to it.

These are the addresses I have saved, so I guarantee nothing. They might put you in the middle of the thread so just go back to the beginning, or the end if you want to see final products.

Cindy Girl................They are Beautiful!! I love how you have made your table runner larger than the original pattern & your Batik's all blend together so nicely. Your circle project looks amazing too, what a lot of work. I can hardly wait to see it when you are finished with it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Judy for the kick in the pants to get this put together!

Lots of members know I used the scrappy mystery for some quilts using my late MotherInLaw's stash. She wanted all her grandchildren to have a quilt from her. Judy's mystery was the perfect pattern for these 23 quilts I made last year. You can find pictures of them in my profile album. I put a link in my signature. I'm going to use this current mystery for one of the sisterinlaw quilts I need to make. I'll post my pic as soon as I get caught up.
