Birthday Mystery Quilt Idea

I haven't started the Birthday Mystery quilt, from Laundry Basket Quilts, yet. I have told myself that I wouldn't start mine until my birthday month in March.  So, I have a long two month wait.  I'm hoping to get a few projects done before I start on it.

Laundry Basket Quilts - Birthday Mystery Block Quilt Along

So far, Edyta has introduced 5 blocks.  They are made using her Cocoa Blue fabric collection, and I will, as well.  She is using a light background fabric (Linen Texture 9057-L3) in the samples she has been showing.  She has also suggested using a taupe background (Linen Texture 9057-N3).  I love the color of taupe, so I have been debated which color to use.

Then I was thinking, if I make two blocks, one in light and another in taupe, I may be able to alternate the colors.

If I choose this color setting, I'll have a second set of blocks that won't be used.  I'm going to have to think of another project that I can use them in.  At the end of the year, Edyta had said that there may be different layouts for this quilt.  If I'm lucky, I may have two quilts made will these blocks!

Til next time,

What?! Another Quilt Project? Birthday Quilt 2024

Wouldn't you know...I've been enticed by another quilt, but I shouldn't be surprised!

My latest quilting obsession, Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts, has started a new project for the new year.  She will be celebrating her birthday with a Birthday Mystery quilt.

Every Tuesday of 2024, she will reveal a 6-inch block.  There will be 55 blocks in 52 weeks.  She will be using her fabrics from the Cocoa Blue collection.  

Although I won't be starting this quilt right away, my plan is to start it in March, my birthday month.  I'll purchase a fat quarter bundle of the Cocoa Blue fabric as a gift to myself!! Hopefully by that point, I'll be a lot closer to finishing my Farm Girl Vintage quilt.

She has already posted her first block. 

54 more to go!!  I can't wait!

Til next time,
