Mystery Quilt Class at Scrapbooks Etc.

Barb and I taught the first Mystery Quilt class at Scrapbooks Etc. last week. And what is a mystery quilt you ask? Well the students all were given a list of what fabrics to buy, they could choose anything they liked, the value ( light and dark) is what matters. So we were there to help them make their choice and guide them, then they had to go home and cut it out. They were all organized with a project bag, and baggies with labels of what to cut and bring to the first class. They still had no idea what the quilt would look like.

So the fun began, everyone sewed for 2 days in class and had a great time, lots of drinks, snacks were provided. We had a break for lunch and ordered out something different each day, stopped at 3:00 for a wonderful dessert. And by the end of the 2nd day they all had one block complete and the parts of this block and the surrounding areas all built and ready to put together. Here is Tash with hers. It just sparkles.
Nancy with hers.
Sandy with hers.
Ce's is for her husbands office.

DeAnne's was just beautiful!
So our first Mystery quilt Class was a huge success. I'm so glad these 5 gals wanted to jump in and join us as it was a great way to build a quilt! Here is mine, showing you the alternate area that creates another star with the sashing.
And this was Barb's. It was fun when it was finally time to build one block after all the parts were built to "unveil" the finished quilts.
Barb has her border on hers, mine will be on this week! It really made a beautiful quilt. And of course there is another Mystery quilt on the schedule for next quarter. It's just as pretty as this one, of course the blocks are different but I can't wait to get mine started! I think these gals were all so thrilled with theirs and what was included in the cost....lunches, snacks, drinks, all their fabrics with the project bag plus they each went home with a wonderful raffle gift ( one even gets their quilt quilted!) that they'll be back for the next one!
