A Mystery and Quilting Fun!

March Hostess Cece with the sweetest finish!

March is nearly over, but our recent Time to Sew included a small group of quilters having colossal success with their quilting!

This layout quickly became ...

... this finished quilt top!  Look at all those perfect right triangles!  Angela is a pro!

She quickly moved on to her next project!  This one is a blue and neutral beauty!

Three members pulled from their fabric stash and participated in the Mystery Quilt!  Audrey dove into her beautiful fabric palette of blue prints!

She solved her Mystery with beautiful results!  The bonus was making a dent in her fabric collection!

Amber decided to take her Mystery to a new level by adding sashing between her flower blocks!  We are always impressed by her quilting sense of style and look forward to seeing it after the piecing is done!  

Cece picked bright solids from her stash for her mystery quilt!  

This beautiful block ...

... will become a beautiful mystery quilt!

A huge thanks to Cece for hosting and organizing March's Time to Sew event!  Also for organizing the Mystery Quilt option for our members!  She planned a terrific event to celebrate Nat'l Quilting Month!

The next Time to Sew event will be held on May 2-4!  We hope to see you there!

March Time to Sew!

It is Time to Sew!

Cece is hosting our March Time to Sew Event!  She has been busy making great plans for the weekend!

Friday, March 21st          6:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Saturday, March 22nd     9:00 am to 10:00 pm

Sunday, March 23rd.       9:00 am to 4:00 pm

As always, many members come and work on their projects of choice.  But Cece has planned an alternative for those who are ready for a bit of mystery in their quilting life!  

Yes, Cece has organized a Mystery Quilt that members can participate in!  This Mystery Quilt is a "quick cut" design using 9 different fabrics, and has only 7 clues (steps) and even includes color suggestions! For this mystery you can choose between two sizes 42 x 42" (wall size) or 54 x 72" (lap size).

Fabric Requirements for Mystery Quilt

• 1 7/8 yards background fabric, can be either light or dark, will want a strong contrast to other fabrics
• 6 different blue fabrics at least 6 x 20".  The blue fabric can range from blue to violet.
• 1/3 yard green fabric
• 1/8 yard yellow fabric

If you decide to make the lap size you will need an additional 2 1/8 yards of setting fabric.  It is suggested that you don't choose the setting fabric until you decide how you want to set the quilt!  

The last bit of advice ... avoid using directional prints!  This Mystery Quilt is going to be sew much fun!

Bring snacks!  Bring projects to work on or fabric for the Mystery Quilt ... or both! Let's Sew!
