This past Monday I started another hexagon mystery quilt over at Jemima's Quilting Blog. The first clue showed up in my email Monday, and I'd bought these blue fabrics to use in the mystery. The quilt will be started in the center, and this is how mine would look. I'm using 3/4" hexagons. Well, after I let this sit and percolate overnight, Tuesday morning I decided that I really don't like this. And I know if I don't like it going in, I won't keep up with it. So now I'm on to plan B. I haven't quite figured out what that is yet. This mystery is completely free. Just click on the link above.
This is as far as I got on last year's mystery quilt. I'm thinking that I should get the fabrics out for this one and finish it. But you all know how tempting it is to start a new quilt.
While pondering what fabrics to use on the mystery quilt, I finished another bird block for my Cousin's Walk quilt. This is bird number 4, but I have 5 appliqued'. (I skipped around.)
I also added the outer border on my Lil' Sugar Chain quilt by Vicki Bellino. Carla, Nancy, and I ended up at Caroline's Cottage Cottons in Rome City at the same time last November so we decided we needed to start a project together. This little quilt measures 30" X 32". My border is wider, so it might be just a bit larger than that.
Our two grandsons were here for the weekend. The oldest who is almost 13 taught me how to do a collage for my blog header. It's really true that if you want to do something on your computer or phone, just ask someone younger!
I think I'm going to look through my stash to see if I can find something interesting just in case I want to start the Jemima's Mystery Hexagon 2025 quilt.Until next time.....
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
I hope you are finding some time to stitch today.
I love the hexie star you started in last year's mystery, I'd go with that one, very pretty! I sat across from Carla last fall, I think she was working on the little quilt then. Have fun with the grandsons and happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWell, I sure love the colors in last year’s mystery! Can’t believe your grandson is almost 13! Yikes..
ReplyDeleteI looked again. Maybe the second round that pretty yellow?
