Design Wall Monday

It's a holiday Monday here for me and I plan to sew for the entire day! I'm so excited! I will be working on my local quilt guild summer mystery called "Teamwork".  Here is the recycled bedding container that I use to store my mystery quilt parts. All the blocks are  counted and labelled, and either in a baggie or pinned together in sets of 10.

The trimming of the square in a square blocks gave me a chance to try out my new Gypsy Quilter cutting mat cleaner. It's a cute heart shaped scrubber that you put your fingers into and you give your mat a good massage to clean off the fibres. I was surprised what a good job it did - I give this new tool a big thumbs up! 👍


Clue #5 had us make 20 
Aunt Dinah blocks. There is always at least one oopsie block when concentration declines late at night!

These are the finished blocks on the design wall from clue #5. 


I love the look of all these blocks on the wall!

And now it's time to sew them into a mystery layout. Mystery clue #6 arrived in my email on Saturday, so that will be my focus for sewing today.

Love a Mystery coming together. Good Luck with all of your twisting and turning of the Opps block. Happy Monday.

Wow! That is going to be gorgeous! I always seem to have at least one of those "oopsie" blocks with every project.

Ahhh, the oops block looks very similar to some I've made. This quilt is going to be beautiful!

That's a nice looking mystery quilt. Something I never do, as I'm one of those quilters who really need to know where the colours go and what im making before I start.

You've been busy. I glad you caught your mistake before you sewed it into the quilt top. I'm an expert at unpicking but I try to avoid it. (sigh)
