Mystery quilt, zoom and a quilt top.

 Last week Chooky had a zoom session. While chatting to everyone I prepared for a mystery quilt class that was held today.

In January if we wanted to participate we had to hand in 80 5.5” squares to the coordinator. These squares could be any print, plain or patterned, novelties or themed. Just cut them to 5.5” and hand them in. They were then split and mixed together. We had 29 packs handed in. Once they were sorted we got a pack back  and had to sew them together into a 16 patch. Just mix them up.

So here is mine. Auditioning the sashings we needed to cut ready for the class.

With the help of the zoom ladies I decided on this patterned green.

Time for class today. All set up.

Step one was to cut the 4 blocks apart. Like a disappearing block.

Switch them around and sew them back together

Sew the sashings on and add corner stones.

About 20 ladies turned up on the day. Most got the top done. Here are a few at the end of the day. Some ladies left early so I didn’t get their photos.

SPF is having a 5.5" square mystery

SPF, my local sewing group are having a 5.5" square mystery SAL in 2024.

We had to cut 40 * 5.5" light coloured squares and 40 * 5.5" dark coloured squares. They need to be 80 contrasting blocks. We will not be working with the squares we cut as they will all be put together and separated then distributed.

I will probably be making mine for charity. Not sure what size it will be. Have to wait and see.

Cutting my squares from here.

I was donated a lot of the fabrics in these tubs from Merilyn to use towards charity and I have been digging into them for so many projects so far. I have also added some of my fabrics into these tubs as I sort out my own fabrics.



I have cut some for my friend


and some for the kitty


and mine are all cut too


Now to wait until end of January gathering to hand them in.
