THE MYSTERY CONTINUES

　Okay, I been contacted,  in person no less, to add the next step.  I am sure this person is not making the quilt at this point but just wants to see the finished quilt before she begins.  Am I right?  How many of you are actually making the quilt?  Just curious.  If you are actually making it could you please leave a comment at the end of this post.  I would just like to know!!!

　Step 4
Cut each strip set into 4 ½” segments. You will get 4 full segments (Unit 1) and a 2 ½” or half segment for each strip set.



strip set cut into 4 full units and 1 half unit



　

Sew 2 of the ½ segments together to create a full unit this will be Unit 2. 

Unit 1 & 2 will measure 4 ½” x 8 ½”.You will need a total of:

49 for the Twin                      81 for the full

Unit 2 made from 2 of the half sections



 

Keep going.  Not too much left to do!

Now for one of my older quilts.

This is one of my stack n whack quilts.  Lots of diamond and triangle shapes.  I much prefer the 4 Patch Posey.  No points to match, no bias edges so therefore more less stress sewing!

Sorry for the quality of the pictures - but this was before I had a digital camera.  1998!!

These were actually taken at the long armer's as she was taking it off the frame!

So with all that being said I have not made I true kaleidoscope quilt since I learned the 4-patch Posey way of life.  Thank you Mary Lou!

Have fun and keep on stitchin'!!

Mystery Quilt Progress.

Hope everyone is enjoying the mystery quilt.  As soon as I hear from some one - either through my regular email or the comments - I will post the next step.  I am not sure how you are progressing so I will wait to hear from you!

How about a glimpse of another of my older quilts.   One of my favorite patterns is the Four Patch Posey by Mary Lou Hollenbeck.  I have made this pattern many times with different settings and twist.  I just love it!  You can change that boring or wild fabric into a beautiful kaleidoscope of beauty.  Here is a link to the pattern:

This is Mary Lou's quilt that is on the pattern.



Some - or should I say most of the following quilts are made from home dec fabrics.  Their is a great deal of home dec fabric that is light weight and the large designs are great to slice up.







This is another home dec fabric.  I just loved the colors and the large florals make this pattern wonderfully!



This quilt is machine embroidered and the dark squares in the border are the 4 patch posey blocks.  The corner stones are also 4 patch posies!

Feather All Around a gift for my husband.  Made from a very soft home dec fabric - it was almost like flannel.



This is a shop sample that I made right after meeting Mary Lou.




This is also a home dec fabric - polished cotton.  The butterflies were posie blocks and a pattern from Jane Sassaman.

I have several more of this quilt in the process stage!  Don't want to really call them UFOs but I guess that is really what they are.  I love cutting the blocks and playing with them before I sew them together.  I just have to get by butt in gear and make them into a top!
