I signed up for a Mystery Quilt Workshop a couple of weeks ago. They told you what supplies to bring and how to cut your fabric . . but you did not know what it would look like. So I cut forty 10" squares of black and cut my 20 fat quarter into forty 10" squares and five 1 1/2 " strips.
Then we started sewing at 10:00 am Saturday morning
Then she wanted to have us chain piece . . like this
It was pretty cool because all the blocks were connected.
Then you started to sew the rows together.
I was able to finish 2 of 4 sections on Saturday. Before I knew it I looked at my watch and it was 5:00 pm.
So before going home I had to stretch my legs.
I woke yesterday, Sunday, and was determined to get her done!! So I DID!!! I put four sections together and added a stop border and then started sewing up the piano keys for the final border . . . .
And around 6:00 pm on Sunday . . . TA DA . . . I finished .
It was quite an accomplishment for me. I had a fun time . . . seeing it develop. My instructor's quilt looked like this .
It will be fun to see how everyone's turned out . . . .
