Mystery on the Design Wall

Step #3 was posted for the "Oh say can you sew" mystery by Lisa Bongean. I cut all the needed squares, and decided to go with the "controlled" version by using the same neutral fabric in all 4 corners of the star blocks (instead of totally scrappy). 

These are the first blocks sewn. I really like the effect of each block having the same neutral corners. I'm using up all the old repro neutrals I have in my stash and think that the more busy prints will add interest to the quilt.

  2. I like the varied Neutrals too! Sorry I can't start any more Sew-Alongs. I NEED a Finish.

  3. Though I love a scrappy quilt, I think it is nice to have something a little bit uniform, like your four matching corners in each block. Just gives a bit more cohesiveness to the whole, IMHO. Nice blocks.

  9. I'm collecting those mystery steps to see how it all turns out before I start cutting and sewing. Yes, I'm a lurker, but I've been disappointed so often in the past that I've learned to wait and see if I like the end result. I do like your blocks, though!
