I think I might have mentioned that I am running a “Design Your Own Quilt” project for the quilt guild I belong to. I came up with the idea for this project…it’s the Mystery Quilt with NO mystery! And the Block of the Month with no waiting…I distributed half of the blocks at the first meeting and the rest at the following meeting. It hopefully has something for everyone.

The quilters can choose to make a whole quilt from a single block, use two or more blocks, make a quilt using one or more block with a chaining alternate block, take a block apart and make it improv, make a sampler quilt using all the blocks, or make whatever else they want to do. It can be any size from a table runner to a king size quilt. It really is a design your own quilt using a set of 11 blocks with one which can be made 2 ways, giving a total of 12 blocks.

10 of these blocks are from The Early Women Masters website, and they are royalty free. The site just has the blocks designs. I used Electric Quilt 8 to make instructions for each block.

The improv log cabin block, second row center, is courtesy of Cheryl Arkison and was one of the blocks in her 2022 Quilters Adventure Playcation Sew Along. She generously gave her permission for our guild to use this block.

The Road to Oklahoma block, bottom row center, is from the Electric Quilt 8 Block Library and is the alternate block I chose to offer.

This quilt top is almost finished, but not quite. I’m planning on adding some borders, but the finished quilt isn’t due until sometime in the fall, so I still have lots of time get it done.
