Mystery Project #3 - P-S-I-C

One really great thing about Double Delight is my time frame. There isn't one! I can work along on the top for as quickly or as long as I want. My Orange Crush top was done in a record 15-days from start to finish. That is not the typical result for me. I usually take a long time to complete a project. Doing a mystery does cause a desire to get on to the next step so I plug along to complete it instead of set it aside.

What is PSIC? (it's a word I made up and the p is silent) It is what I have done within this step. The prep steps of the fabric went well. Now it is PSIC time. Pin - Sew - Iron - Cut and then repeat.

Mystery Project #3 - Starting Up

I have to admit that quilting has never kept my interest as much as it has lately. I so enjoy looking at patterns and projects, fussing over my material, picking out the colors that are "just right", and starting up! Now I'm starting up the "Double Delight" mystery project.
 
Mystery quilting is great fun. You are given the step-by-step instructions and have a gorgeous result at the end. I have to say that as I look for a new mystery, I check out the final result page first, just to make sure that I will like the darn thing when I'm done with it! I'd hate to put all that work into a pattern that I won't want on some sort of display in my house. By the time I click around a few more pages, I pretty much forgot what the pattern will look like so I figure that is ok to do. :)
