Who Knows How a Mystery Goes?

 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!



The box of 4" squares can 

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!
