It's a mystery, part 4



This week's clue had options on whether to make pieced blocks or not.  There were different piecing options included as well.  I went with the lazy woman's way and didn't piece the blocks.  This option will still give me great color variations in my quilt but also gave me time to finish up the previous clues!

Here are my "blocks" for this week's clue:



I was also able to completely finish off my red 9-patches (all squared up) and my green half chevrons (also all squared up).  Both of those sets are also at the correct numbers I needed.

I also worked on getting my blue HSTs (half square triangles) squared up and counted and the green HSTs that were "buddies" from the half chevron blocks.  I haven't finished these yet, but hopefully by this Friday's clue I'll be all caught up.

Here are the blocks that I have totally done:

Happy Stitching!

It's a mystery, part 3


Well, part 3 was released this past Friday as usual.  I did make a start on the clue.  This time, we were using greens and neutrals.  This block also has a "buddy block" (made as a result of these).  Here are the few of the main block that I got completely finished.


Here are the even fewer buddy blocks that I got done - these are even squared up!


This is definitely proving to be a mystery.  While I've done 3 clues, I don't have a clue how these are going to come together!

Happy Stitching!

It's a mystery, part 2



I'm so proud of myself!  I finished cutting and stitching all of the pieces I needed for clue #2!  I still need to
iron and square them up, but I'm ahead of where I expected to be on a Monday.

Here is a sample of my "blocks" for clue #2:


I was surprised by how many blues I ended up with.  It was either 14 or 17 different fabrics.  I'm going for ultra-scrappy on this one.  lol

Hopefully, by the time the next clue comes out on Friday, I'll have ironed and squared all of the blocks from clues 1 & 2.  I adjusted my ironing board so that I could sit down to use it in order to save my back some grief.  It seems to be working so far!
