I’m not sure how it happened,
but I took on yet another sew-a-long project for the summer. I joined in on my
very first mystery quilt adventure. For years I have watched my friends
participating in these mystery quilt projects. I just didn’t see the allure
until Kevin of Kevin The Quilter in his whimsical way, just made it sounds so
enticing.
So, here is my first part.
Forty eight units done and waiting for the next clue. Woohoo!
Kevin’s instructions said to
draw a line down the center and stitch on the line. But, being the lazy
time efficient person that I am, I just used my little vintage ruler as a guide
as I stitched along. The metal ruler has a little camber in it so it makes it
easy to keep in place.
Do check out Kevin’s blog
(here) to see all the progress. Fun, fun, fun!
Okay, what I want to know is why have I not heard the word "camber" before? Had to look it up. *LOL* I learn so much from your blog--in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteKevin's SAL does sound fun, I admit, but since I have failed to follow through on the other three SALs that I thought I was doing , I figured I had to face the fact that there just isn't time this year. I will enjoy seeing what you create with his instructions, and pretend I made something just as pretty. :)
Welcome to the dark side of mystery quilts. I'm always a couple months behind when I participate in a mystery, which takes some of the uncertainty out of the situation. I guess I like to know where I'm heading. Your first parts look great.
ReplyDeleteLove your Kevin mystery products!!! I'm also going to do it; I likewise did not draw a line. I eyeball it!! That's probably why my work is so irregular!! VBG
