I'm using Moda Blockheads to surround the panel ans will put inner borders to get the sizing right. I love the way so many different blocks can be made from one block pattern.
I'm looking forward the heading downstairs to sew.

Back in May I started two new projects:the new Simply Colourful mystery quilt; and Ulas Quiltpage BOM. Now I am almost finished the Simply Colourful top. After travelling for a few weeks I'm back home and on the machine again. I love a mystery and the first step is choosing the colours, always hard for me, one because I tend to choose the same colours 😊 - pink, purple, and teal; and two because it's a mystery, and one is never sure how it will turn out.
The colours of this Freedom mystery were red, white and blue. I am already making a red white and blue footie quilt so decided to change the blue to purple. First step is sorting the colours into light medium and dark. I usually do this by taking a photo and turning it into black and white, then it is easier to sort the values.
The mystery was nine weeks with a clue every week, and Lynn, the host, would release the clue on Friday morning US time and at 8pm US time that evening would sew the clue. Two of the clues suggested that scraps could be put together to make the same colour block. I think I went a bit too far with some of the scraps, especially with the light neutral blocks. I completed up to clue 6 before leaving home to travel and had a sneak look at clues 7, 8, and 9 while away.
