witha'K'quilting Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 well...i would say you got the know how to post pics...might want to shrink them down more to make them easier to view though. i would say this will be cherished by some serviceman or woman.

meg Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 kristina - in step 8 what measurement are the outer strips? 2.25, 2 3/8 or 2.5? am nervous to guess and then have to redo and i must've missed a step somewhere cause my bag #2 just had strips in it. i didnt miss your bailey's comment either...:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsbishwit Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Kristina the mystery quilt design is awesome! Thanks for hosting this for us. Looking forward to doing your next one. I won't be able to finish mine for at least a week because I have 16 customer quilts to finish by the 14th (only 3 of them are queen sz the rest are small ones but I can't wait to finish it and quilt it. I plan on adding some extra borders to get it to 96" so I can use it for guest when they come to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Woo - hoo - I'm done! I'll posted my pictures for you Kristina on the Flicker site - I was a bit worried as we went along that my colours didn't have enough contrast . . . but I couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out! (now, back to my neglected house and family!!) Thanks Kristina for putting this together - it was fun! Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 For those of you who would like to own a complete pattern or have NOT yet started the mystery...and would like a revamped version of the pattern...that includes new cutting/sewing for step 6...I have listed this pattern for sale. Just email me for details. Thanks again to all who joined in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I have all my blocks done and laid out on my cutting table with orders to anyone coming near "DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE ANYTHING !!!" haha I had to tweak come of my blocks and use my focus fabric in a couple places where the contrast should have been. I have 2 contrast fabrics, so that complictaed things a bit. If I make another one, I will use just 3 colors or make it very scrappy with just the focus fabric the same. I think that would be fun. It was a fun pattern to sew. Can't wait until I get the blocks together and the borders on. Maybe tomorrow ! I, too, will look forward to another Mystery Quilt...........maybe after the holidays???? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
