Mystery Quilt Workshop


I hope mine turns out as good as this one
 Betty Ann held two workshop session last week to show the mystery quilt # 2 (scrappy) participants how to assemble the block.  Betty Ann also gave us some tips on how to construct the borders.   The finished quilt she bought to the class is beautiful. 

We all enjoyed putting together the block puzzle.  Each quilt will look similar but be very different. Can't wait to see them all at show and share...




This is a happy group..one block finished and 29 more to go !!!!
