The Midnight Mystery Quilt hosted by Cheryl over at Meadow Mist Designs was the first quilt to receive my attention. When she announced this quilt along I decided to make two different colorway versions. I chose to use the colors gray and white in both quilts, but swapped their placements in each quilt. I am super excited to see how these quilts come together.
I am also participating in the Gypsy Queen Mystery Quilt A Long hosted by Cora over at Cora's Quilts. When I started sewing last week I was only 11 weeks behind. Who's counting? No big deal, right?
So I cut and sewed and cut and sewed some more...
I even created quite a pile of goose poop...
Goose poop? That's exactly what I said too when I heard Daisy over at Ants to Sugar make reference to the term on her Periscope chat last Thursday night during her segment on the #honestcraftroomies hop. She told us that goose poop is the pile of tiny triangles that are left over when you trim flying geese units. Love it!!
As the weekend comes to a close, I'm not completely caught up, but I have some of each block completed. I'm hopeful I will be completely caught up by the end of this week. What can I say, I'm a sucker for mystery quilts.
I did manage to sneak in a bit of retail therapy last week. Oliver was so excited he couldn't wait for me to take it out of the bag. But more on that later. So for now, I find myself crushing on mysteries still waiting to be solved...mystery quilts
Today I am linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday at My Quilt Infatuation, Let's Bee Social at Sew Fresh Quilts, WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced, and Main Crush Monday at Cooking Up Quilts.

Yay for having some time to catch up! I'm pretty far behind on Cheryl's mystery quilt but I still have hope. :) it will be fun to see how the different color choices will look when these quilts are finished. Thanks for linking up!
The term "goose poop" is pretty funny and right on point. I ended up with a gallon size bag of flying geese leftovers from my current QIP. I have my WIPs also cut and saved into square plastic containers and baskets. Your Midnight Mystery blocks look really nice. You could have a his and hers possibly with the colors. Your other blocks look intriguing. Thanks for sharing.
Your mystery quilts are looking great! I love both the colorways you are using for the Midnight Mystery quilt.
Kudos for attempting two versions of the Meadow Mist Designs mystery. I've been enjoying the process. Can't wait to see the blocks are pieced together.
These projects look so fun, and I bet the finished results will be amazing!
Looks like you are making good progress. Visiting from Let's Bee Social. I'm doing a quickie Christmas project over 4 weeks so it can be used this year.
You have your work cut out for you! But it looks like so much fun! Love the goose poop....I have it everywhere some days!
Goose poop is hilarious! Well done for getting so much done .... it seems I'm playing catch up here too!
I'm playing catch up too!
All of your WIP's look fantastic, Tish! Love the photo of Oliver checking out your purchase.... Maybe he will share a peek with us next week? Hahaha!
