Badges & Best Intentions -

For those wanting our yearly mystery quilt badges made by the loving hands of Forest Jane - here you go!

This one above is 400 X 400. I've posted it here in "original size" and you should be able to just right click and save.

These logos are great for printing onto labels.  Feel free to use these on your own blogs and social media to let folks know you played along.

This size is 200 X 200 pixels - it may be just the right size for a blog side bar or profile image.

This one is 800 X 800 pixels, and is likely to overrun the sidebar on the blog.  If it doesn't post in actual size due to Blogger limitations, please right click and choose "open in a new window or tab" to reveal the full size and then right click and save the image from there.

As always - I am grateful for Forest Jane for diving in just ahead of our reveals and making us these beautiful logos each year.

She is also in the process of getting t-shirts, mugs and more uploaded to our Quiltville Zazzle Store and I will let you know when the Indigo Way merchandise is ready to go there.

Yes, this is an authorized Quiltville shop, and all of the proceeds go to help with supplies for the sewing/crocheting/crafting workshops Forest Jane offers for free through her local library.

It's a wonderful program and something I fully support as a way to give back to the community.

More on that to come - when things are uploaded and ready.


Indigo Way Mystery Update:⁣
Designing mystery quilts to keep things scrambled so no one can figure it out is hard. ⁣
It often isn't until the end I find that there are miscalculations. ⁣


The total for the Part 3 units is 168.⁣
25 sets of 4 for blocks, 20 sets of 3 for setting triangles, 4 sets of 2 for the setting corners.⁣

Part 5 only requires 25 units with 4 corners. If you made 36 you have 11 extra.⁣
And I could still be wrong.⁣
But all of this shouldn't stop you in your tracks. If you have leftover units? It allows you to cull the ones you are not happy with. If you need to make a few more - make what you need to complete what you want the quilt to do.⁣
I'm sure I will find out some more *oops* moments along the way - We are all human beings just doing the best we can to share our love of quilting together.⁣

I have posted all of the correction information on the Part Eight Blog post (NOT the PDF yet) and in a highlighted section on the Indigo Way Mystery Tab where folks go to get their different parts, with annotations to make corrections on their OWN PDFs.

I will not be correcting the Part 3 or 5 PDFs because folks won't know if it is a corrected version or not and when they get to the part 8 corrections it could confuse folks further. Please make notes on your OWN PDF copies.
Thanks, everyone. Quilt on.⁣


And quilting on is what I've been doing.

I honestly thought I'd be further along on this - but I just turned the corner and am working up the 4th side of the 2nd round of fans in toward the center.

The good thing? Rounds get smaller and smaller as I work to the inside - so it will go faster from here.

I love how the texture shows with the afternoon light shining through the glass sliding doors -It's a great daylight sitting spot.


This came through my memories!

Look at how little and cute Casden is! I gifted my Irish Courthouse quilt to Jeff & Ashlyn in 2021 when they got a new bed.


Have you started one?

Have you finished one?

It's a fun and easy quilt perfect for scraps (No Triangles!) and easy to make block-by-block.

This quilt was inspired by the antique quilt in today's Quiltville Quote at the end of this post. Sometimes I see a traditional pattern, fall in love, and jump in with both feet.


Lola wishes everyone a happy Caturday!


Quiltville Quote of the Day -

The Quilt that caused all that manic sewing.

Thank you Martin Luther King, jr. for the awesome message.

It's currently 32 degrees with icy sleet. I'll be hanging out here at home for a while until it warms up enough to be safer to drive over to the QPO.

I need a lazy slow weekend - how about you?
