Jill C.--What a creative idea to switch the neutrals to darks! I love your results.

Jill love the choices. Can not wait to see all the finised quilts.

Hi everyone! I love all your choices so far. I'm going for a purple/turquoise/yellow quilt. I'm switching the lights to darks with #3, #8, and #9 scrappy. What do you think?

I'm enjoying everyones comments & suggestions! I've done mystery quilts before, & thoroughly enjoy the process. The fabric selection, for me, is the hardest part!

Nice snowy sunday morning, here in Mt!

Happy stitching!!

Thanks for the tip on putting the one block together Joanne.

Ladies, your quilt blocks and colors are all looking great! I can hardly wait to start. Had hoped to get to the fabric store to get some fabric this week but the stupid flu my DH had got me and so no shopping or cutting or sewing yet.  I am bound and determined to get started this week one way or the other. I want to get caught up before the mailman comes with the next magazine. 

Thank you all for sharing your lovely pictures. It really does give me inspiration and from looking at your pictures, I may have come up with a plan for my blocks that won take me buying all new fabric.

Your blocks look good, Joanne. Pretty blue and lavender colors. I was really happy to get mine done, too. I think I spend an inordinate amount of time on a mystery quilt in the beginning, mostly because I agonize over my fabric choices. I put off another project--my local guild's Winter Challenge--and now I'm pushing to get that finished by Thursday. And I'm also learning my new sewing machine. Good thing my husband likes to cook on the weekends!

Here are my finished blocks. redone the bottom ones 3x.  be careful the order you sew this block.  lst strip goes to the right, then bottom, then left of the center then last strip set goes across the top. If you do it wrong it appears to be the right way it is very tricky.  do one make sure its right then proceed. Don't do what I did.Happy its DONE.....

Welcome Mary! Glad to have you. Hope you have fun!

I finished my cutting and started those pinwheels. I should finish them and start on the strip sets and other blocks by Monday. The pinwheels are going together nicer than I expected, I tend to stretch triangles, but learned the art of spray starch with our previous mystery quilt, so they look really good. Excited to finish up :-)
