Mystery and Pillow Cases



Libby, at Life on the Hill,
is hosting a mystery quilt a long.
This is my kind of mystery!
Quick, easy blocks that are fun to make.
The  last clue was released on Friday
and the reveal will be today.

Here is my last clue sewn together.




She gave us a cutting scheme for cutting fat quarters in the fastest and
most efficient way and then has had us sew the various pieces together
into blocks.

On Friday, Libby asked us to play around with our blocks to see if
we could guess what the final reveal will look like.

Here is what I came up with:


It's like putting a puzzle together
only faster!

 


I'm not good with the names of various blocks,
but I know the outer part of the blocks below are
Churn Dash blocks.

 


It will be fun to see what Libby has designed today.

 


On a mindless sewing note,
I've made a stack of pillow cases for some of my
grand nieces and nephews.
My brother and sister-in-law have a new grandson
and the first Old McDonald's Farm quilt is going to him.
I decided to make all of their grands pillow cases
and raided my stash to find fabrics.




I had all of these fabrics in my stash and had so
much fun pulling and pairing the fabrics.

 

These all went together lickity-split!
There will be more pillow cases in my future!

I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.


Have a great week and
Happy Quilting!

Your guesses are fascinating. So many options. Julie in GA came up with a similar, but different, solution. I'm glad I haven't put all my blocks together because now I want to try some of yours!

What great pillowcases to bust that stash!! I tried to bust stash this weekend by cutting out 9 purses, can't even see a dent in that bin at all!! How the heck does that happen, LOL

Churn Dash blocks are my favourite! It will be fun to see what the quilt looks like.

I love the pillowcases, they are lucky kids.

The pillow cases are awesome! What fun to pick fabrics. It will be interesting to see the final mystery design. You have some great layouts. I love your new Old McDonald quilt in the previous post. I am still hoping to do a blogpost but it's tricky finding time right now!

Definitely fun blocks. And a great stack of pillowcases. I love kitting up several at a time, and then make 1 or 2 as I have time.

Love the Churn Dash idea you came up with for Libby's blocks! I didn't see that one when I was playing with mine. It will be fun to see what Libby has in mind!

It will be fun to see how close you come to the actual layout. I love all of your cute pillowcases. They will make lovely gifts.

Love your color choices for the mystery, and all of your possibilities. I will wait until next week to see which setting you choose. Thanks for linking with Design Wall Mondays, Judy
