Mystery Solved!

The mystery has been solved and finished!  Odds, Ends and Leftovers was the perfect name for this mystery quilt!  I think there are bits and pieces from almost every quilt that I have made in the past 7 or 8 years in this quilt...which is why I love it so much!  Most of the scraps in this quilt came from quilts that have been given away long ago, so it was nice to remember them all while making this quilt.  I'll be keeping this quilt for myself!

Mystery Solved!

The Odds, Ends and Leftovers mystery has been solved!  There was an optional round to make the quilt larger, but I decided to stop at 57" x 57" so that I can quilt it myself.  (I can only quilt up to 60" with my machine and frame.)  For those of you who weren't able to join in the mystery, it's not too late! Gyleen now has the pdf pattern available for sale at www.colourfulstitches.com.

One Step Closer

I'm one step closer to solving Gyleen Fitzgerald's Odds, Ends and Leftovers mystery quilt!  The last step will be posted this morning, so hopefully I'll have a finished top very soon!

Odds, Ends And Leftovers - Step 3

Step 3 of Gyleen Fitzgerald's Odds, Ends and Leftover's mystery quilt is finished.  Oh yes, this is going to be one SCRAPPY quilt!

Odds, Ends And Leftovers - Step 2

Here is step 2 of Gyleen Fitzgerald's latest mystery quilt all finished.  I know that this quilt is going to drive my #1 daughter-in-law crazy...she likes everything to match, so I'm sure that all of these mismatched scraps are making her cringe!  However, I think I like the scrappiness!  All of these fabrics have come from past quilts and projects, so this quilt will hold lots of memories once it's finished...even if it does end up looking like the dog's breakfast!

Odds, Ends And Leftovers

Gyleen Fitzgerald is doing another online mystery quilt and I thought I would join in.  Gyleen is offering this mystery for free on Facebook and all you have to do to stitch along is join the Facebook group, Gyleen's Bricks, Cobblestones and Pebbles.  The quilt will be made with all scraps and stash and is perfect for anyone who has a lot of 2 1/2" squares and strips all ready cut.  The photo shows my completed first step.  I can't wait to get the next piece of the puzzle!
