Galloping ahead on the mystery quilt,
I am glad to say that all the cutting is complete.
Except for the borders of course, they will come later.
My effort is of the scrappy variety so
the borders will get chosen with the overall
quilt in mind at the end of stitching.
The major colors are green, blue and red with
white on whites and a few low volumes for background.
The first clue with stitching instructions came
thru yesterday, so after drawing lots of lines,
I am off to the featherweight to start sewing!
My scrap bins look exactly the same!
I was hoping to use up more fabric!
Anything helps tho, so let's stay positive!
Great progress on the stitching
for the mystery.
All the first round of sewing is complete
and this morning is the Get Goin' Sewing trim up .
I put my retreat prize to work and tried the
slotted trimmer for the first time.
Trimming off corner points will
be a new experience for me.
I usually just sew thru them!
Well , everything is trimmed, but
I had no idea how many little
dog ears would litter the floor!
We love a mystery and a vacumn!
I had a good time sewing up a storm!
Whoops!
Stay safe and sew on !

DeleteFabulous start to your mystery, I'll enjoy watching others put theirs together
ReplyDeleteShould be fun! I like the group sewing projects too. Every quilt looks different!
Deleteinterestingly enough, I never thought of using the clips to hold pieces together.
ReplyDeleteI use them for counting and on binding. I have seen some sewers use them instead of pins! Certainly saves on pin pokes!
DeleteLooking forward to the mystery progress. You've got great fabrics cut so far!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, I hope it turns out well!
DeleteGreat colors for the BH mystery!!! Looking forward to more!

DeleteHi Deb, well done on keeping up with your mystery quilt. It's amazing how much we take out of our scrap bins and they are still full! Looking forward to seeing your mystery quilt come along. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
