Magnolia Mystery flower units

Wayward Transparency planning

Quilting Jetgirl has a Wayward Transparency QAL going, so when she posted the possible colorways that she sorted out, I went a little insane.

I decided to do a throw sized one (68"x68") in the Regal to Lavendar colorway that I'll likely gift:

 
And one in the Orange to Red colorway, but upsize it to work on our new guest bed (double/full, so something like 85"x 90"):

 which I'll use when my best friend, Kathryne, comes to visit since her favorite color is orange.  Or maybe I'll give it to her as a gift, too.  (If you're reading this, Kathryne, let me know if this is too orange for you, if that's possible) (:

The first set of instructions was posted Oct. 13, but it wasn't until the first set of piecing instructions were posted that I started.  Either way, here are my cutting pictures and my HST from the Piecing #1 instructions

Kona regal, tulip, lavendar

Kona orange, flame and Chinese red

There's a facebook group for this QAL as well as the Magnolia Mystery QAL, so join in to see all the other quilter's progress!

Magnolia Mystery continued

My Magnolia Mystery quilt continues, and I cannot wait for the next steps to be revealed next Thursday!

Here are the half flying geese units for October with some extra HST that the quilt won't use.  I may add them onto the back or the bottom edge of the quilt, just for some extra interest.

I've decided to use some grey fabric as the backing with a stripe of yellow, somewhat like this

I'll add a list and photos of all of my other WIPs in my next post.  I'm sure I have more than I am remembering!

New mystery QAL!

I decided to join a mystery quilt quilt-a-long, hosted by Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs.  The QAL is the Magnolia Mystery Quilt.

Since I'm now feeling 2% more settled into our new home, I decided to pull fabric for it and get started on Sunday, though I am a few months behind! 

Here's the fabric I chose:

Kona iron, palm, spring and butter, from top to bottom.

So far, I have cut most of the fabric (August's task) and made the HST (September's task):

I still need to trim them down to 3.5 x 3.5 and make this month's Half Geese Units.

Since I am leery of mystery QALs, I did request the sneak peek and I am so very excited about it!

I'm also doing the Ravelry Quilters Knitting Austerity Challenge again this year, and I'm proud to say that all of this fabric was stash fabric!
