Oh, I gotta say, I really have enjoyed the Merry Mix mystery quiltalong hosted by Melanie @mellmeyer this Advent season. I prioritized it among other projects in this month's sewing time, which meant I may not have progressed on other projects as much as I might have. But it was totally worth it, and I'm excited to get my Merry Mix quilt finished in the next few weeks.
All my blocks went up on the design wall in no particular order as I made them. Unknown to me when I took the photo below, there are also eight squares of solid fabric that will be added for the final layout, making a total of 99 blocks for the lap version.
But finally, the official layout was revealed, and I really love it! Unfortunately, the blocks won't all fit on my design wall in the correct portrait orientation, but I was able to arrange them all as if the quilt was on its side, with the top to the right. SO, not 100% what the quilt will look like, but you get the idea.
It'll be after Christmas before the blocks all get sewn together, but I'm looking forward to having that done, and the quilt in use (hopefully) before the season is totally over. We'll see!
Oh, it's going to be super delightful. Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing how this finishes up for you!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a fantastic quilt. Kinda wishing I'd have joined in! Nice finish! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such fun. I really like your color choices and the movement in this quilt. Being me, I had to download the photo and rotate it in my viewer to see it right side up. Merry and bright to you! --Judith in Carolina
