December 30, 2021 by persimondreams 4 Comments

Let’s continue with the Project QUILTING Mystery Quilt Along. This is the final clue of the quilt along! There are instructions to make THREE blocks today. I meant to spread the last one out to a different day but I forgot to add a clue 9 into my schedule. It will be fine though and tomorrow the reveal for the final layout will go up!

We use the link up for each challenge of Project QUILTING so hopefully this will give you a little practice in using it.

    I am totally PUZZLED! Anxiously waiting to see what the answer is. I have turned blocks this way and that way and round and round but still cannot see what I am missing. Sure have had fun though and have enjoyed seeing each person’s fabric selections. More joy to come discovering the solution and then seeing them all quilted. I hope everyone finishes. Katherine
