Meadow Mystery--I'm caught up!

I love, love, love the OMG goal-setting link up hosted by Heidi of Red Letter Quilts.  This month, I made piecing my goal.  Primary goal was to finish cutting and do all the September piecing for the Meadow Mystery hosted by Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs.  I was successful!


I am using batiks for this mystery, and 2 of the "fabrics" are scrappy.  I am a little concerned about the lack of contrast, but I will wait to decide if I need to make a change until I get further into the mystery. Each of these four blocks has a different purple fabric.  The bright green mottled is the same.  The thing about batiks, though, is even when a big piece is obviously a certain color, you lose that definition when you cut it into smaller pieces. But like I said, I'll wait and sew.

There were also some HSTs with the green and the background fabric.  They will presumably be used later in the mystery.  I don't have a picture of those, but they are pieced and trimmed and ready for the next step.

I also hoped to get some piecing done on my niece's quilt and to make some more butterflies for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, as I am desperately behind on that. I got 2 more double rows made for my niece's I Spy quilt, bringing me to 5 completed of the 8 needed.  And I finished 1 butterfly.

This is the picture I took to keep track of the layout; I will have an official picture once I finish the second green butterfly.

All in all, lots of piecing this month, and I made my goal of staying caught up with the Meadow Mystery.  Linking up with Heidi.
