Another busy weekend .... and I'm still not ready for Christmas. I guess I've got one more weekend. I'm looking forward to having some time off ... to sew of course!
I had to run a few errands on Friday, but once I got home I immediately got started on Part 4.

| Purple and Teal Geese |
There's nothing that makes me happier than throwing my slivers on the floor. I'm not sure why that makes me so happy, but it does!! I guess I think I'm Eleanor Burns or something!

It didn't take long to get all those geese pieced together and then joined with the other geese:

| Combined Geese Units |
It was exciting to start putting some of the pieces together. This is the first time I've ever done a Mystery Quilt and it's a lot of fun!! And of course I went ahead and did the "bonus" cutting assignment! I've been dying to get in there and cut up those greens!

| Green Squares |
I worked some on Susan & Greg's quilt too. I started sewing strips to make 9-patches and then cut them back into smaller units to make 3-patch strips to sew together.

| 3-Patch Strips |
I made 36 9-patches, but I realized as I was picking up that I needed four more for the corners. I guess I'll do those next weekend.

I went ahead and started sewing the signature blocks together. If I ever do this quilt again I think I will paper piece the signature blocks so they are exact. I'm not a perfect sewer by any means.

I think it will turn out pretty good.
LOL at your slivers! I used to throw them on the floor but I am trying to discipline myself to put them straight in the bin now (although I still forget from time to time...)
ReplyDeleteI cut the green squares, too. It's good to get into them as well. I'm really loving colours together, although it's not a combination I would ever have come up with by myself.
I'd say you got a lot done! So fun to see the progress everyone in blogland is making on the mystery quilt. Love the colors of the nine patch quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour purples reflect your blog background :)
