Two of my friends are starting quilt alongs and have asked me to join. One has not started yet, but I have been asked to blog and share my journey on this quilt along. I think that is a great idea, so I will be sharing Little Bunny Quilts Daisy Chain Mystery Quilt Along.
The link takes you to her announcement of the quilt along. Sometime next week I will be sharing my fabric choices. Some of you know that I don't do "mystery quilt alongs" very often. But, perhaps I should be more brave about it. I am hoping to have fun with this one.
The other quilt along I am doing has already started. A Left Handed Quilter is hosting the LHQSQ 2.0 Quilt along. In this one we will be making 25 blocks (or more if you prefer) for an on-point sampler quilt. For a long time setting a quilt on-point scared me. But then I did one and saw that it was easier than I thought. One of those was my Crumb Quilt - also inspired by "A Left-Handed Quilter."
This one has yet to be quilted but I really love this quilt top.
So if you are looking for a project or two - join up with one of these quilt-alongs and let's see what magic we can make.
Comments are welcomed. I will reply when possible.

Oh, I just love the crumb quilt! I wrote a mystery quilt for my guild, lots of work, and the reveal is in March. Over half the people that signed up dropped. It is an easy scrappy quilt. I am not sure if I should offer it on my blog. I will never write one again as it is an inordinate amount of work.
Thanks for the shout-out, Gene! The more the merrier - it should be FUN!! - ;))
I’m in need of an easy project (for hand therapy, lol) so in spite of making all kinds of quilts for decades, the word “beginner” caught my eye. I’ll give it a try and hope to avoid hand sewing or appliqué. 😏 Plus, I’ve always liked mystery quilts! Here’s hoping, I’ll be watching. I love your colorful quilt on point!
Your scrappy quilt is just beautiful. I work with myself, and remind myself why I jumped off the IBA program: I have to finish my La Passion, and not let any temptations take over! Thanks for the links anyways.
Such a cool quilt! I love the colors! It's just awesome!! Have a happy day! :-) :-)
What a super quilt!!!
Oh, I do love a mystery quilt. It's the ultimate quilt "trust fall." Trust completely and sew blindly...well you know what I mean :) Can't wait to see the fabrics you use for the Daisy Chain. The crumb quilt is beautiful!!! Love all those colors!
I haven't had much luck with the mystery quilts I participated in. Well, one didn't turn out so bad, the only complaint was not having a clear understanding of the fabric requirements.
I have been tempted by so many 'new' projects out in blogland but I'm spending my 'no sewing' time this year on cross-stitch and house projects. My sewing time will be trying to finish up projects.
I look forward to following your progress, Gene. You make really interesting and fun quilts.
You are one busy person....
