Secrets from Louisiana

So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.

The palette is non stopping.

Good morning sisters it is a beautiful day of course for any type of quilting.  I am so stoked about your mystery for Pomeroy in September I made a second one in steps for you sweet ladies. WE will have some new comers for the retreat,  We have Renee, Mary, Rosie, Andre, Mell and of course patticake. I spoke to Margie and she is really excited that my crew is coming. You guys will love them really friendly and love quilting except for Mell she will be reading and messing with hair probably. She is coming because she has had to listen to me talk about how much we love each other.

Now for the mystery WHOOHOO here we go fabrics first.

I used 2 large floral prints in different color ways but would have some colors similar.

From one cut (5) 8 1/2 strips the width of the fabric. Now cut (20) 8 1/2 squares .

From the second large floral print do the same. It takes about yard and a half for each.

Moving on:

Now chose 4 fabric that will be next to your florals in each color way , you will have 8 fabrics 1/4 yard of each.
Cut (2)  2 1/2 strips from each of your 8 fabrics the width of your fabric. You will have 16 strips.

Next:

Pick a really knock  your socks off fabric bright but not busy. (I picked a color that was least seen in my big blocks.
Cut (15) strips  1 1/2 inches by the width of the fabric.


Boarder Cuts:

You pick a boarder fabric.

Cut (8) 4 1/2 strips the width of the fabric.


Binding:

Cut (7) 2 1/2  strips color of your choice.

This quilt will be 64 x 74 inches.

Now you have some shopping to do.

Hint my big squares are  very bright.

Hugs Patticake
