Originally posted and mused over here after the second month of the quilt chapter quilt along. Fabric requirements and cutting instructions were passed out the first month. I decided to complete the lap quilt size in a scrap happy method using up some batiks.
Completed six 16-patch blocks and I'm liking the batik so far, but still worried that my contrast between the dark and light will not be contrasting enough!! (the hate side of a mystery quilt). Also on the hate side of a mystery quilt is that I've pre-cut all my fabric. What if I don't like some of my fabric choices once I get it sewn into blocks?
Received May instructions and fell behind. Received June instructions and fell further behind. Now, it's almost time for the July instructions and I'm finally up-to-date.
May, June, July mystery quilt blocks completed
thankfully
and I'm speculating on the block arrangement....but if it's anything close to this, then I like it
and I can see that my contrast between the dark and light is working fine.
I'm really liking the scrap happy blending
Also liking the batik fabric that's now into a quilt block and out of my fabric bin
but these 10 6 1/2" blocks remain!
There must be another block arrangement in this mix somewhere, but until next month,
it's still a mystery to me!
Yes, your scrappy batik quilt is turning out lovely!! Can't wait until the mystery is solved and we get a "big reveal".
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool, and you do have the dark and the lights placed perfectly don't you?
