It's that time of year when the weather starts cool,
snow is in the future,
and we all start to think about hibernating.
Yes it's mystery time!
Our guild is doing a mystery quilt and
I'm going to do mine Scrappy.
The clue master assured us that it will look very nice
using scrappy fabrics. Clues come out every
three weeks. Just saw the first sewing portion today!
So glad I purchase the Perfectly Slotted trimmer set
with a portion of my retreat door prize !
Three colors and one background fabric are the
requirements from the invitation.
The second clue gave us a hint that there
may be a lot of half squares,
but with hundreds of patterns for half square settings,
who knows what it will be?
So here are the three color families I have chosen.
The scrap universe decreed that the most
scraps win so my colors are:
1.5 m of green scraps
2 m of blue scraps
.7m of red.
Featured as part of the Monday morning
Get Goin' Sewn' will be cutting a
stack of parts for each color family,
100 ~ 4" x 4" of each color and the backgrounds.
That GGS club sounds like a winner! I
have a few quilters I will invite to join me Monday
morning to stitch!
Now, back to the mystery!
I'll be using beige and white scraps.
Then a big stack of 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
of everything.
Thank you world for rotary cutters!
This project should relieve the stress on my overfull
scrap drawers.
The chunk stacks will also get a break if
I dice up some them for the mystery units!
be sorted too!
I have 2 young helpers
I can enlist to pile up the color families!
Have a great week stitching!
Oh , we are off to school, not the fabric store!
Stay safe and sew on!

Sounds like a very fun mystery quilt. I used to do a lot of them but I've been trying to focus on stuff I want to do and stuff I need to finish, you know, UFOs. I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress.
ReplyDeleteI stitching away tonight, so we will see how far I get!
DeleteSounds exciting to do a mystery. I have done several over the years including 3 of Bonnie Hunter's. Any chance others can join in? If not, have LOTS of fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun way to "hibernate!" Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

It is! The weather is all outside!!Thank you for the linky!
DeleteHi Deb, good luck with the Mystery Quilt. Scrappy sounds like a good solution for using up fabric. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks!
ReplyDeleteThank you, so far so good!
DeleteOhh that sounds like a fun mystery!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is, we are going thru the clues quickly too!
DeleteAwesome plan! I love a good mystery quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am sure enjoying this one, maybe I 'll do more! Some of my ufo s end up like mysteries, since I can't remember what they were supposed to be!
DeleteYour mystery looks fun... and mysterious ;) A scrappy project is always welcome to use up some pretty scraps. Have fun! Thank you for sharing, and enjoy the pretty autumn colors too!
ReplyDeleteI did and now we have snow!!
DeleteEnjoy your Mystery, Deb. Going scrappy is the BEST!!
ReplyDeleteThank you , I am all caught up!
DeleteThat's some collection of bins containing a multitude of scraps and pre-cuts. Don't know what I would do without my rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteLots of bins full. I need to sew faster!
ReplyDeleteDeb you are definitely set with having enough scraps for your mystery quilt (and several other projects,). Did you get the snow we had in BC when the cyclone bomb hit us? Thank you for linking with ToDo Tuesday. Hope this week was productive and fun for you! 😉 Carol
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun guild project.
