Brigitte's Mystery Quilt

Brigitte's Mystery Quilt!

Why I chose my colors

I wanted to use fabrics from my stash and these jumped out at me.

Why I chose either scrappy or orderly

I originally chose scrappy, but it became orderly when I decided to stop at enough blocks for a baby quilt. I only made as many blocks as I could on New Year's Day. I wanted to have the top done so I could move on to the next step. This was my first quilt, and I would really like to get a few baby quilts made to have on hand for showers, etc. It still took me a few months to get to the quilting and binding, but I feel like I can tackle a bigger quilt next time.

Tips and Tricks

  • I can't think of any tips or tricks, but I can't post without putting something here...

Other thoughts about the mystery quilt

I really enjoyed the mystery quilt - the excitement of checking for the next step and reading everyone's posts as they progressed. I can't wait for New Year's 2011.
