Today’s prompt is “First 2021 Project”. For me, it’s a project this is full of FIRSTS.
First, it’s a Mystery Quilt!!
In August 2020, I signed up for the Parallel Universe Mystery Quilt hosted by my extremely talented colleagues Ebony Love, Gyleen Fitzgerald and Latifah Saafir.
This is a project of Firsts for me!
- It requires precision piecing and using templates–so I expect to improve my skills in a few areas as I work along with this pattern.
- It’s my first mystery quilt ever!
- It’s the first time in years that I’ve made a quilt using someone else’s pattern. And, I’m committed to sticking with the plan!
- It’s the first time that I’ve committed to a ‘strict’ schedule’ for making a quilt. I really don’t want to have this quilt end up as an unfinished project.
Another commitment that I have made is to make this quilt ENTIRELY from my stash, including the backing.
As I go along, I will keep notes about what I’m learning about myself and blog about all of that at the end of the 6 week project. Of course, I will keep the Mystery in the Mystery!
Happy Modern Quilting in 2021!
