In August we made flying geese for the Midnight Mystery Quilt, hosted by Cheryl at Meadow Mist designs. In September our task was to make 34 square in a square units. Here's a glimpse of what mine look like.

It's fun to see all my fabrics in the mix now. I'm loving the scrappy look. The pattern is based on using 4 fabrics or sets of fabrics. I chose for each set to be one color, but scrappy within each color. Everything was pulled from my stash. As you can see, my stash is heavy on blenders.

Today we get the new instructions for October. I can't wait to see what we're making next!

In July we got started with the Midnight Mystery Quilt, hosted by Cheryl at Meadow Mist designs, by cutting all of our fabric. In August, the sewing began. Our task was to make 36 flying geese units. I love the no-waste sewing method that Cheryl chose. Here are my flying geese. Since I'm a little behind on posting about last month's sewing, this month's directions are already out. We'll be making square in a square units in September. I have a few other projects in the queue before I'll get a chance to work on those, but I hope to be showing them off soon.

Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs is hosting her second online mystery quilt. Just getting the cutting instructions into my hands made me even more excited about this project. I love a mystery quilt. It's not too late for you to join in. Head over to Meadow Mist Designs for the fabric requirements and cutting instructions so you can catch up and start sewing with us the first week of August.

My fabric pull is entirely from my stash. I started by choosing orange, since I had an abundance of orange blenders in my stash, then worked from there. I moved my colors around a bit from my previous plan. I'm going scrappy and using the following colors:
Set A: Pink
Set B: Teal
Set C: Orange
Set D: Light Grey

I got them all cut out the first week of the month. Now, I'm excitedly waiting for August.

I missed Cheryl's first mystery quilt (Foothills Mystery Quilt), but I have previously completed two other mystery quilts: Candy Shoppe and Bold Blooms. In both of those I never saw any other finished quilts from the same pattern... it will be very fun to see how this project develops from all the different palettes as people share their progress online. Remember, it's not too late to join in. You have lots of time to choose and cut fabric before the next set of instructions come out on August 6th.

Have you ever done a mystery quilt? What's your favorite part? Is there anything you didn't like about the process?
