HI There

I am pleased to share photos of the second version of

the Mystery Quilt by The

Gourmet Quilter — "That Square Quilt".

The colors and fabrics are coming together

and have given me the "impression" of a

Gypsy Quilt…

so that is what I have decided at this point to call it.

All cut out and ready to go…

The squares are getting ready for sewing…

I love it when things are coming together….

Colorful strips in progress…

All sewn up…can’t wait for Month 3!

Thanks for stopping by.

It has been a busy day…

reconnecting with the Mystery Quilt

—  "That Square Quilt"

designed by The Gourmet Quilter.  

 I have made a start with the lovely new fabric,

from the range "Amelia"

by Me and My Sister,

sent by Lori at Stitches N’ Giggles.

I am loving my first foray with these fabrics.

Here is the first month’s cutting out all done.

As you can see, work is in progress here.  At the top the half-square triangles are being prepared. At the bottom there are some flying geese getting ready to fly.

Here is another shot of the flying geese getting ready.

Happy pile of pieces in progress here.

Hooray…!!  Only the trimming to go…tomorrow.  Here are all the pieces done for the first month of the Mystery Quilt.

What do the colors make you think of?

I have downloaded the second month’s instructions so am ready to go on Part 2.

 It’s not too late to join in….please check out www.gourmetquilter.com.

Enjoy.

 The anticipation has been great. I hoped it would arrive before I went away for a few days.  Yesterday when I came home from my errands..there it was in the spring sunshine.

I rushed to take a photo and…you know the feeling…the battery had run out.  So…more patience required.

The fabric was beautifully wrapped in plastic with the air all sucked out so it seemed really small.

A lovely color-coordinated note from Lori.

THANK YOU LORI  🙂

Such happy fabrics : "Amelia" by Me and My Sister.  Here are the ones I have chosen for the Mystery Quilt.

They are gorgeous and girly.

Please check out Lori’s site here if you would like to purchase some of these and see the rest of the range.

Now I am going away for a few days so I won’t do the cutting out just yet as my head is spinning with going away things and I really don’t want to make a mistake.  Easily done.

So I will be keen to return to my sewing machine and further progress on the Mystery Quilt "That Square Quilt" designed by The Gourmet Quilter.

Enjoy.
