Another Mystery Solved


It's now a flimsy!
68 x 68


For a couple of weeks in May I followed along and made different four inch blocks every day and then went out and did my gardening.  I kept up with all the clues and although Edyta did give placement of the blocks every day I don't have a design wall so I just made my blocks and put them in a little box.  On a rainy day I decided I should attempt to get the blocks sewn together. It took me an entire day of arranging and rearranging blocks on my floor according to the layout plan. Ugh, what a backache! I had it for days. 


I used all sorts of odds and ends of different blue scraps. All of the blocks were easy to make. I didn't have to watch any videos to make the blocks, thank goodness, because my old laptop does not do well when it comes to videos. 


I kind of thought my quilt looked like a jumbled mess of blue so I didn't add any fancy border. But now that I see it hanging from afar...Surprise!!!... I kind of like it. That was a good use of some blue scraps! Now it will join the Edyta Sitar Mystery 2020 in the quilting pile.

I always love blue and white quilts. I don't remember you doing last years though. I started the 2020 mystery and printed out all the clues but haven't gotten back to it yet. I don't have a design wall either. I wish that I did but there is no wall space.

It's fantastic... great job!
I must figure out the Feedburner issue... what a pain!

Blue and white is always a great combo of colours. The design is fabulous but I can imagine it was difficult to lay out on the floor. I don’t have a design wall either so I understand your problem. Great use of your multitude of scraps.

That gets an, "Oh wow!" from me! Beautiful, Cathy! Way to go on the layout, but not on the backache from it. :)
