Finally finished up Week 3 rectangles. Weeks 4 & 5 have already been released, so I'm rather behind! But I need to put this quilt aside and get to work on the other BOMs for October. I'll be taking the mystery quilt with me when I go to Houston in a couple weeks - I'll have the final instructions by then. I'll be there staying with a friend for 2 weeks of sewing, quilting, yakking, International Quilt Show, sewing, quilting, yakking.......FUN!!!

| Modern Mystery-Week 3 |
These rectangles are similar to Week 1, but they have another round of strips. Again, this was so time consuming. I finally quit stressing about sizes of strips and decided what would be would be! But still took a lot of time. Choose a fabric and cut a strip between X & Y in size. Choose a different fabric, cut 2 strips, sew to top and bottom, press, trim between X & Y. Choose another fabric, cut 2 strips, sew to sides, press, trim between X & Y. Repeat. I'm just glad to get these behind me.
Most likely, this will be the only modern quilt I'll make. I don't enjoy this process like I do making traditional blocks. But I've done something I've not done before, like it or not...and that's a good thing, right??!!
Keep on Stitchin'!
