Of course, mimi, and yes the ladies will love them. And they are so fun to make.
FYI -- this train will plow on through any kind of crud Father Nature can throw our way. We outfitted the train with a special Snowplow on Steroids, nothing will stop us.
I'm really hoping this will be a surprise, I know I've surprised many of you on my previous mysteries, but this one won't really be a really big surprise until the last clues. Hee hee. Half of the fun for me is seeing how some of you put things together in a guess at where we are going to end up. I really love doing these mystery quilts.

Sulabug, you inspired me! I was rummaging through UFOs, partially finished projects, and when I read your entry, the lightbulb went on! YAY! I have some pretty bright florals left from a long ago block of the month project. I'm usually a pastel girl. Anyway, I did get 52 pieces cut and now will go on to stitch the strips. Hope you don't mind me copying, but these were scraps and now they won't be! I was ready to leave the train. Thanks! Love this group!!
I am so anxious to see your floral blocks that you have already cut out. I am so glad that I was able to give you some inspiration. This train ride is going to be so much fun. See you all soon on this thread!!

OK. They are done...minus two. One was cut wrong and the other is a single rose that will be cut when I can tell which direction it should go. No idea what I'll use for the other fabric. OKsewnsew, you can hit me with a wet noodle now that I'm out of the sewing car. First, I take your idea for florals, then I didn't give you credit. [ATTACH=CONFIG]461773[/ATTACH] Sorry it's sideways. The picture is as goofy as I am!!
I think you & I should have gotten together & shared flora'ls between us!! Absolutely Gorgeous, thank you for sharing.

well, I certainly learned to read directions thrice, measure twice and then cut once. I am now the proud owner of 52 cut pieces that are 3.0 by 4.5. Oh well, maybe a border. After that false start, I finished my first step and here they are: (Oh, I think I'm using that red hot chilli pepper fabric for my "B").
love the colours you picked out

Fabrics for mystery quilt 6
Well I got my squares sewn and managed to get a pic before the batteries died in the camera. My scraps are special since they all come from a box of scraps given to me after a dear friend passed so this is my memory quilt for her and the fun times we had working at the SW WA Fair, as well as quilt guild.
