Wow, you have a ton on the go here, and although having a second machine is a huge bonus, I don't know how you get so much done with working full-time and a teenager, not to mention all your fur kids, oh ya and hubby fits in there sometimes too I hear! I sitll have to catch up, er start the BOM...and the Stepping Stones QAL...and a week is GONE in April already! whut? how?Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-63902247619221664302016-04-05T13:58:15.429-04:002016-04-05T13:58:15.429-04:00I am looking forward to hearing about your process...I am looking forward to hearing about your process of picking for a mystery quilt.

I still don't have the one pieced that Cheryl just finished and I absolutely love the design. So one day I will get back to work on it. It's wonderful you had another machine to pull out and use. It looks like you were very productive!

That's success in my mind. And it is hard to pick out fabrics for mystery quilts.

However, at the end. I was happy with it, extremely so as it was the largest and most difficult I had ever attempted. I do like your reverse side quilting.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-28452868646372610942016-04-04T02:28:44.463-04:002016-04-04T02:28:44.463-04:00Yes please Tish to 'how you choose fabrics for...Yes please Tish to 'how you choose fabrics for a mystery quilt'. I quite like doing mystery quilts (I've done two!) because I don't get frustrated when I can't get the fabric that the quilt pattern has (hope that makes sense I *know* what I mean lol)Michelle in Scotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196205874203372636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-54782016536180629362016-04-03T23:12:56.800-04:002016-04-03T23:12:56.800-04:00How handy to have another machine to pull out and ...How handy to have another machine to pull out and use. I hope it was a good break and distraction from quilting and helps you come back to the Labyrinth quilt with more enthusiasm. I agree that picking fabrics for a mystery quilt does seem like the hardest part. Once I do that I feel committed, LOL.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
