I will be joining you for this one, Laura. It sounds like a lot of fun. Thank you for taking the time to organize the sew along. Pam😍
I just about have all my fabric cut. This quilt along sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for doing this.
What a great idea. I made 12 copies and gave one to each lady in my quilting group. They loved it. I love your channel.
It wouldn’t be a mystery quilt if it is seen. As always Laura this is a great project! I love surprises and I know it will be beautiful. Your style is so nice in fabrics and I just love 💕 everything you share with your virtual audience.
This is my first ever quilt along, can't wait, thank you
Began cutting up scraps today for this and I'm almost cleared out. YAY! Looking forward to this surprise quilt. Thank you for providing this opportunity to quilt with you.
I love all the finishes. I'm determined to bind my quilt this weekend, so I can start cleaning out my closet and start a new project. 😂
So exciting…looking forward to February!!!
Sew excited to start this BOM! My fabric is all cut, using up scraps from my stash. I'm ready to go!! Thank you for doing this fun program.
I will be joining in. I have been looking at all kinds of patterns to try and use fabric I already have on hand. This one is just perfect and knowing how you work, even though I don’t know ahead of time how it is supposed to look, I know I won’t be disappointed. Thank you for helping me use up more of my scraps!!!
Love the prep, before starting to piece the blocks. Thank you for doing this. It will certainly help us in this project. Really appreciate how you organize your projects. Can't wait for all the tips that you'll share. Take care and blessings to y'all.
All cut and ready!!! All scraps. I'll also use leftover backings and batting so the whole quilt will be scrappy. Yes...even scrappy binding!!!
I’m doing this project. Just starting so catch-up is in order for me. I am currently doing 2 toddler quilts and another with a virtual group. I am so EXCITED to get your project started.
Very looking forward to this project. Thank you ❤
You're at the top of my project list, Laura! I'm really looking forward to this. 😊
This is exactly what I’ve been hoping to find for 2024! Looking forward to getting my scraps together in time for the next video.
Happy New Year 2024! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. 💖🌞🌵😷
This is perfect for the insane amount of scraps I have!
Laura this sounds like so much fun, and I can cut up scraps!!!!Can’t wait!
I think this will be great for me as I need something to get my mojo going in quilting. I have totes of material that really need to be made into something ! Thanks so much for doing this.
Thank you Laura for this BOM. Love the idea of cutting all the piece up first and have them ready to sew. Hopefully this will make a dent in my scrap bin ha ha. Looking forward to next month. Thanks again. Elen
Thank you so much for doing this for us. Sounds like fun!! I am happy to be using up as many scraps as I can. See you on Feb.8th.
Thanks, Laura. Looking forward to this sewalong. BTW, I do the same cutting of scraps after each project. 🙂
Oh I'm super happy you're hosting a Quilt a Long. Looking forward to joining in. Blessings
Thank you Laura! I love all your videos, but this is the most exciting to date. I'm sewing along with you. 🧵🪡
I am so excited to start on this one. What a great way to use up all those leftover bits and pieces I have been cutting up and saving for the last so many years. I will see if I can find a 68cm piece for contrast, otherwise I will be buying only that. For the background, I am going to use the whites with very small prints as well. Thank you. Can't wait to start cutting up. Yes, that is another good idea to cut up before we start. I don't really like block of the month where each block is different, and, do like that it will tie up.
Thank you, Laura. I'm going to follow along. I've never made a scrappy quilt
I have just finished two mystery quilts, and this may be my third!
I like scraps and will join it too.
Ooh, this sounds good. Making units to prepare. Then make the quilt!
Woo hoo I'm in I have scraps that need a home and this is the ticket. Thank you Laura. Can wait. I'm doing the de clutter challenge with Karen Brown of just get it done quilts and we will be wrapping that up just in time to start this. I'm so excited.

This sounds like so much fun. I can't wait to get started picking out my fabric. Thanks Laura you're awesome 😊
Thank you for doing this. I am so excited about joining in on this project and the fact that it will slow me down a bit and use up lots of scraps.
Can we see an example of what the finished quilt looks like?😊

I’m in it for the surprise, it’s like signing up for a mystery quilt! I like that a lot if the fabrics are scraps so the $$ outlay won’t be much to start with.
Looks like a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to it. You’re very generous with your time and talent.
Very intriguing. I’m very interested. Good job Laura.
I’m excited for this one. Thanks for taking the time to take us along Miss Laura.
Hopefully I'll have enough scrapes to make this.😊
Sounds like fun and scrappy is perfect!
Now to hit my scrap bins and fat quarters ❤
I’d like to try this! I love that you are doing components instead of blocks. I should be able to keep up with that. Thank you. Happy New Year.

I'm in, I have a lot of scraps, but a little scared not knowing what the pattern is like. Afraid my scraps wont look good. But excited at the same time.Thanks Laura
Thanks for the print out. Looking forward to the sew along. 😊😊❤😊😊
Have asked several of my sewing friends to join me. You attention to detail will help them.
This sounds so fun Laura. It seems do-able amongst my other projects. Now I need to check out my scraps!!
Thank you.
Looking forward to the quilt along
Im excited to join as i have so many scraps 🤣
❤ that is an interesting project…….😊
I’m using all flower prints for my printed fabrics and my white fabrics that have raised designs as my background fabrics. This white fabric has a name but I can’t recall it at the moment, but I do know if a light is placed against it the design on it can then be seen.
so excited to do a sew along with you
I’m excited ! Going to start cutting!

This is a mystery this year. But it is not a sampler quilt.
Sounds interesting ❤
After a long term of not sewing, I am finding my mojo again and your KZread channel. I want to make this a scrappy quilt, so Most important to me is do use up what scraps I have “the scraps really never go away 😊. Do you suggest we use small or medium size print, fabric or Does the print size matter? I know that we need mediums and darks to contrast with our background fabric, also, when you say 72 inch will this quilt finish 72 x 72 as a square? Thank you for your generosity and offering this free block of the month sew along mystery quilt..
I'm interested especially to use my scraps. Have a lot going right now so I might have to catch up in a month or two.
If someone wants to not use scraps, how many yards of each color should we have the binding and the background fabric is a given in your hand out for the main blocks if we want to do three colors how much of each color should we get? Thank you so much.
Love a Mystery 😂😂😂
Im in.
I am joining in. This will be my first mystery quilt. Excited! Question since I don’t have a lot of scraps but do have some yardages of fabric I have purchased just because I liked it, since the binding is 8 WOF, can I just use 8 different fabrics?
I’m looking forward to joining you with this mystery quilt. One question. When I was reviewing the cutting information, I wondered if the dimensions for the contrast and one of the print pieces is correct. It’s listed as 3 1/2” X 6”. Should they be listed as 3 1/2” X 6 1/2”? It would make sense with the white 6 1/2” square in white.
I really would like to participate but the PDF doesn’t appear to be downloading
It's Feb 8 and I haven't found the Part 1 for the sew along. Thanks
What if I need to make my quilt a King size or 108” square? How many more blocks will I need and how can I adjust the cutting amounts?
This is not really a question, just. a confirmation that I am understanding, but for a three color quilt it is the background, one print, and the contrast, right? Or do I need three colors of print? Sorry for having to ask this.
So, except for the contrasting fabric (bright gold) and the white background, all the other fabrics are medium to dark values?
@SewVeryEasy

yes :)
Sounds like fun. I can't print out the free handout. Do I have to "purchase" the printout?
I'd love to do one of these block of the months but I'm way too OCD not to know what the pattern is. I have "winged" a few quilts but I've had a jumping off point that I can refer back to.
Sounds like fun!! Thank you Laura. Will we be needing any special rules throughout the year?

I hit my stash for this. I do have a question, if I wanted to have half dark and half medium prints would the cutting be half for each size?
Are there cutting instructions if we just want to make it a 3 color quilt?

I don’t have enough scrap for this size and don’t want to add. Is there any way you could provide amounts for a smaller throw or something? Just asking just in case…

In other mystery Quilts, what I have done was decided that I would make fewer blocks. What size are you wanting to make your quilt? Take that measurement and figure out what percentage that is of a 72 inch quilt. For example, you may just want to make a 36”inch quilt so that would be 50% of 72”So you would reduce the number of blocks by 50%. I think that would work out. the number we don’t have that may be helpful would be what is the finished size of each quilt block.
Is there a picture of the quilt that we will be making, with these components/blocks?
You mention the Print 2.5x24" are an estimated size. Does that mean they can be smaller? Or bigger too? Am I safe to cut exact 2.5x24" strips?
@SewVeryEasy
7 ай бұрын
Yes, you can cut 2.5 x 24. It will be a bit smaller than the 24" but 2.5 is the same
Laura, going in on this project. Question: looking at the Fabric Requirements to be clear, is the Medium and Dark Prints 2.5 yards each. I did not hear or see medium fabric mentioned anywhere. Is the medium fabric the backing fabric? Thanks. Always look forward and enjoy your videos.

the scrappy fabric can be a mix of whatever you want. I just think a mix of both med and dark will look nice and that is a total amount combined. Thanks for joining along

This seems like a great project. I’m new to quilting so I don’t have many scraps so I think I will try 3 colors. Does that mean I follow the Fabric requirements. Color 1, 3 1/2 yards; Color 2, 2 1/2 yards; Color 3, 3/4 yards; Binding, 3/4 yard?
