U3A mystery finale

U3A patchwork group with their mystery quilt projects

Jane has made a bag from
last year's hexagon log cabin
 star poject.

There were lots of finished tops to Show & Tell on Monday. It was lovely to see all the different fabric choices laying emphasis on different aspects of the pattern. I produced mine as well (all with mitred borders). The leafy one was not made mysteriously but I drew out the pattern to enlarge it and constructed the central square in rows. These were not as straightforward as one might have supposed as the background squares are framed by fabric 1 and by fabric 3 and the strip squares are arranged asymmetrically. We agreed the shapes were simple but the pattern was more complicated than first appeared.
