Are you ready?!

Monday Finishes (and Starts)

I finished the Spring '12 Mystery Quilt (the Original) and got the binding on today.  I couldn't bear to go to bed knowing there was even a second of work left to do on it... including the label.

Now it's ready for the birthday girl.

And rather than go to bed (like a normal person), I HAD to start something new.

Thus, I dig out my Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Designer 2012 BOM #2.

It's cut, partially pieced, and ready to be completed tomorrow.

(Maybe I can do the #1 block tomorrow, too)

I am beginning to notice a trend of "mystery" being involved in my quilt projects.

Maybe it's my way of giving up control?  (hahahaha)

Mitered Corner Monday!

Today, I decided it was time to learn how to miter corners.  

They look so much nicer and cleaner.  

And I love clean.

And now the Spring '12 Mystery Quilt, Take Two, is finished...

and ready for Heather to quilt it.

Aside from this being my first mitered-corner quilt, this is also officially the last quilt I will be paying for someone else to quilt.

That's right.

The Six is going to be here before too long... so it's time to start stockpiling.

... And handing out business cards.

Spring '12 Mystery Quilt (Round 2) ... in 24 hours

The fabric line is "Daydreaming Daisies" by Maywood Studios.

Snowballs and stripsets

4-patch embedded in a 9-patch

Ready for borders

This just looks so loud and busy in the picture, but it's really quite nice 'in person.'

Mystery Quilt Spring 2012

I finally got borders put on the Spring 2012 Mystery Quilt.  Midget kindly told the little girl next door that she's getting it for her birthday next month.  I had planned to raffle it off... so there will be ANOTHER Spring 2012 Mystery Quilt coming together in the next month.

Here's "her" quilt.

Heather at Heather Spence Designs just announced that signup for the Fall 2012 Mystery Quilt is underway.  Click here for all the details.
