This week I'm starting my first "Mystery Quilt." This is run through the blog Meadow Mist Designs. We will periodically be given a portion of instructions for the quilt -- but we don't know what the finished quilt will look like from the beginning. This week I am picking out fabric, which is always a fun challenge. But it's even more challenging when you don't know what you're making! This should be interesting. It only requires 4 fabrics or 4 groups of fabric. I am trying to use what I already have. Here are a couple options I am wondering about:
Also, I have neglected to share that I won a few prizes recently! These were all random drawings (a prize was offered to those who commented on their blog post.) I can't believe how lucky I have been and want to acknowledge these generous people -- even if it is only to my 5 followers. Haha.
First of all, I won an awesome box of thread from Aurifil! This was won in last quarters Finish-Along at On the Windy Side. For those of you who do not sew, you may not realize that this gift is worth over $100. Nice! This is actually my preferred brand of thread for my machine. How lucky!
Also, I have won a few books -- including The Paper Pieced Home, from a giveaway at Cut to Pieces. Such cute things! I was interested in this book because I've been wanting to do a little more paper piecing. It has a lot of cute patterns and gift ideas -- gifts for people who garden, cook, or just like a Retro look.
I also won the book Quilting the New Classics by Michele Muska. This book highlights particular quilt blocks and then has a classic quilt pattern and a modern quilt pattern for each block. I like many of the quilts in this book, particularly the modern versions. My favorite in this book is the modern Bear Paw quilt. I think it would be awesome for some nature-loving man out there.
Lastly, I won an Ebook called Quick Change: Refresh a Room Fast with Quilted Bed Runners from a comment I posted on Blue is Bleu. I was excited to win this because I like the idea of having some useful, smaller projects to make (ones that I am willing to quilt on my own home machine.) And to change the look of your bedding seasonally sounds fun.
So isn't that cool? A lot of fun things to enjoy.
Well, I must get off because my son and his friend are having an ongoing argument about what to play -- Batman or Star Wars?
