The secret is out

This project was such a first for me. It all started when our quilt shop wanted to do their first  mystery quilt challenge.  

I had no idea what a mystery quilt even was. I do not think my friend Louise knew what it was either but she was excited for us to join.
Join we did, and for weeks we would get little clues.  We would then cut and bag pieces of fabric.  The only one thing I did know, was,   the colors would be red, white and blue.  The other thing I knew is,  how ever this quilt turned out it would go to my granddaughter and her hubby who is in the military.
With out to much more chatter here it is.


A first for using a quilter or as I call them a long arm person.  Didn't she do a beautiful job?


I didn't want to say much about this project, as I wanted it to be a surprise.  The quilt is now in it's new home.

    1. The shop said they will be doing another one, not sure if I will sign up for that one. Strange how it took on a life of it's own.
