The project at the Skrappies retreat last fall was a mystery quilt. We all worked for days before the retreat, cutting and sewing, thinking we would finish the mystery that weekend. Were we ever WRONG.  By the end of the weekend no one was close to being finished so the mystery was revealed to give us incentive to finish. The name of the mystery quilt is Faceted Jewels and I’ve posted pics of finished ones by other Skrappies. I am happy, proud and relieved to announce that at 12:00 midnight on Friday night I sewed the last seam of my Faceted Jewels quilt top.
Â
For the inquiring minds, I counted the units and there are 2000 pieces in this quilt. That’s not counting all the extra pieces we had left over.
Â
Saturday was Skrappy Ladies workday, so I drove down to Lawton. Wanted to show off my finished top. We had a great salad potluck and I managed to make one more Dear Jane block.

Carol J. was working on her quilt from Lerlene Nevaril’s Two Color Quilt class.

Wow, that faceted jewels quilt is amazing. I love the colours but the thought of trying to piece so many little pieces fills me with horror!
It’s a good thing it was mystery, because if I’d known how much piecing was involved I wouldn’t have started. Carol B. https://prairiethistle.wordpress.com/
