In addition to the Oh Christmas Tree Advent embroidery project, I also joined in the Merry Mix mystery quilt-along with Melanie Meyer @mellmeyer, a quilt-loving friend in Germany. My goal is a throw-sized quilt top (54″ x 66″) that coordinates with our other Christmas decor. Hubby and I worked together to choose fabrics, finally selecting these five (l-r): Kona Pewter and Quicksilver, Kona Emerald, Bella Solids Scuba, and Kona Wine.
I don't remember ever doing a quilt-along this quickly, so I'm excited for it and concerned just a bit about keeping up. But, the more community the better, right? That said, I've successfully completed our assignments for Day 1 - some fabric cutting....
and Day 2, our first blocks!

Will be fun to watch your progress as you sew along. Like your color choices!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your process! Quilts don't magically appear do they?
ReplyDeleteThis will be a good project.
It is soooo cool that you are joining the sew along - and with my favorite fabrics: teal. I hope you will love the final quilt. And I hope we will all be your push for this fast sew along. A throw size in that time frame is really a challenge. So best of luck and most of all enjoy and if neccessary adapt ;))) xo
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a delightful color palette and I love that your hubby collaborated with you on the selection. Hopefully the quarter circles were easier than feared. :)
