Hello! I’ve been working away … SLOWLY … at the Good Fortune mystery. I thought I had all of the 4 patch blocks done … until I was doing the final pressing and realized that I have about 10 blocks where the corner 4 patches are turned around … groan … oh well, I’m just 10 blocks away from finishing these blocks.
PS: If you want to do this mystery, make sure that you download all the clues before the end of the month!
A NEW Project
CQA (Canadian Quilter’s Association) has a block-of-the-week going. It’s called 52 blocks in 52 weeks. There are people from all over the world joining in.
I decided that I would use my blue scraps … and I have the first 2 blocks completed!
If you decide to join us … the blocks are only up for 3 weeks … so make sure you go and download them!
And ANOTHER NEW Project
I’m joining Little Bunny Quilts in doing the Daisy Chain Mystery Quilt Along. You know, I do find it hard to resist mystery quilts!
The fabric requirements come out on Feb. 4. Stay tuned to see which fabrics I’ll be using from my stash!
Happy Quilting!
Gail

Thanks, Tish!
I figure that if you design mystery quilts, you will also like them!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

I was tempted by Daisy Chain Mystery, too, but I can’t add another project right now!! Though I do love a good mystery! I’ll just live vicariously through you. Have fun with all of these QALs!

Hi Gail! I saw your blocks on IG so I knew there was a new block-a-week challenge. That sounds like fun especially if you can use up scraps doing it. That might be one I consider . . . but really shouldn’t. Your Good Fortune quilt top is coming right along. I just LOVE the gray and teal together. Oooh-la-la. I’m going to go check out those links . . . ~smile~ Roseanne
