It's been a bit rough the last couple of weeks, a business trip and this respiratory illness have really impacted my sewing time. Alison (Little Bunny Quilts) released clue 4 of the Daisy Chain Mystery on Monday, so I'm catch up mode at the moment.
This clue calls for more 4 patches, though linear rather than square.
My stitching time has been limited, but I've gotten one strip set made and have a few of the border chunks completed. Someone called my tan fabrics serene rather than boring, I like that description. With such serene border colors, that black paisley should take center stage, which was the plan.
I'm still working on getting all of the clue 3 blocks finished, just ten more to make there. Clue 4 ends the parts and pieces part of the mystery quilt. We've got a few weeks to catch up before clue 5, where we start assembling the quilt, comes out on May 6th. So if you haven't made a start you definitely have some time to select some fabrics and catch up on making the parts and pieces.
These units look great and I think you're going to be very happy with using the tan scrappy fabrics for this step! :D
ReplyDeleteI like that word "serene". I have LOT of old "serene" looking fabrics. Thanks for the idea of a good way to use them. :D
ReplyDeleteThat Paisley will degifinitely be the star!
ReplyDeleteIf your focus fabric is the same as mine, it has a little tan that the strip of tan fabrics will really bring out. Not boring at all!
