AP&Q Mystery Quilt Progress

 Last weekend, I was at a scrapbooking retreat with some friends in a small resort town about an hour away from home. Saturday morning, I went out running and saw this quilt block on the side of a house. I love seeing the wooden quilt blocks on barns, houses, and other buildings! Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. I took it with my phone while I was out on my run, and I don’t have a “smart phone” ~ mine’s a dumb phone!

 

I’ve done a bit of work on my American Patchwork and Quilting magazine 2012 mystery quilt. Before I went on my scrapbooking retreat, I sewed the setting triangles onto the blocks. I decided to use the same four fabrics for each block, using each fabric on a different side of the block. I think this is how I will arrange the blocks.

 

More recently, I made all of the 3 ½ inch hourglass blocks for the middle border. Here’s the stack of 64 hourglass units.

Here are a few of the hourglass blocks. For some of the blocks, I used the fabrics from the main blocks. I also used a few fabrics from some fat eighths that were given to me by my “secret sister” when I was a member of a local quilt guild a few years ago.

Just this weekend, I was poking around on some blogs, and saw that every Monday, Judy over at Patchwork Times hosts a blog linky party for what’s on your design wall. I’m linking up with her today. I'm also linking up with Connie's Linky Party Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stitching!
