This is what I am calling a learning quilt for my DGGD, Julia. My hope is that she will learn the word/name for all in at least one language and maybe two..... the yellow 'A' fabric has small butterflys and the 'B' fabric print is wood woven basket....the squares are all vegetable, fruit or flower. Judy this is so great, sure that I will make several. Now that I see the picture posted I am laughing, it is actually sewn and ironed, but you would never know it because the breeze is picking up the edges.

I have done almost all of your Mysteries & I love them all. It's hard to say which one is my favorite. With the last Mystery quilt we did, I finished it & gave it to my DGD for her graduation last June & she couldn't have been happier with it!! The memories are so precious to me.

Pam: Its 88 X 88, I'm hoping with Judy's border it will come out at least 92 X 92. It looks darker than it is. The insets are a grape purple. Now I know why quilters like to make quilts with no repeating fabric. If you have two of the same fabric they will automatically gravitate towards each other. Heaven forbid you should rotate one block because then they will match all over the quilt in spite of the hours you spent at the design wall.

Judy: I saw one of your other mysteries, I think it was #5 and liked it a lot. One of the people who has done several of yours said your designs are always fun and turn out really well. That convinced me to hop on board #6, so glad I did. I stopped looking at your mysteries because I would like to do them on my own. Will be especially interested to see which ones are the favorite in your poll.
