Mystery Reveal

The mystery fabric chosen for the quilt-along by Tracy for the first quarter of 2019 ....




















 Was this cute print with mice in bales of hay.

















 I ended up making this snack mat with the mice peeking out of the windows. 

Went into my landscape fabric for the house walls and roof.  The rest came out of scraps.


 Close up of the mice in the windows.














Backing, also from scraps.

Haven't decided what I'm going to do with this yet........could end up a gift, or be sold.

Gratitudes:

1. For the days this past week when they let us go home early.

2. For the fun with the ladies ministry Friday night at church.

Mystery Fabric QAL Reveal



Three of my quilting friends and I have been working on a mystery Quilt-A-Long.  The mystery part comes in the form of all of us working with the same FQ of fabric, and then doing whatever we wanted to with it.

For my quilt, I decided to use this panel as the base for my quilt.








The mystery fabric is the one that my friend Susan used in her pillow here .   And it matched up perfectly with the lightest blue in the novelty fabric above.
After cutting the squares apart, I bordered them out so that I could square them up to 10" finished.   Then made the 4 extra blocks I needed with assorted WOW's and the mystery fabric.   When finished this will most likely be donated somewhere.



Gratitudes:

1. Weather is starting to look a wee bit better after a really bad evening T-Storm earlier in the week.

2. The PT job is going well and bringing in a wee bit of money to help pay the bills off.
