Mystery Quilts

I always get sucked in to do the Quiltville mystery quilt, buy the fabric, get all excited, and then completely have no time at all to do it when it's that close to the Christmas season.  I totally understand why she posts it then, but realistically I just can't fit it in my life.

I always buy the stupid fabric too and then end up feeling cross with myself, because why would I buy it when I know I'll have no time to do it?

So when From My Carolina Home announced she was doing a mystery quilt, I decided to use up the fabrics I brought for Grassy Creek and use them in this one.  And as this one has just started, I should be able to manage the steps.

I cut out half of the cutting requirements today:

It doesn't look like much right now, the black never looks good all by itself.  But we'll see what it looks like tomorrow when I cut out the other half.
