Step #2 Mystery Quilt - Complete

Well, that was super fun! 72 - 3 1/2" yellow string blocks. I love strings, any size and shape.  I actually put a dent in my yellow scraps. I had help from my daughter so the process went a lot quicker. She snipped and pressed while I chain pieced.  And then she pulled the paper away from the back. I tried Bonnie's suggestion of using a large needle and I found it made the paper come off so much better. I have made several full size string quilts before so strings are not new to me but I did learn something while sewing up these little cuties...Don't use the Yellow Pages when using yellow fabrics!!  You may tend to trim incorrectly.  Needless to say, I messed up a few. You can still join in this Mystery. It is so much fun.  Check out this link to Quiltville to see other quilters progress.

Also, I completed the November block for the Blogger's BOM...split star. My plan for this BOM is to use only scraps but I couldn't resist putting a little rectangle of one of my new Kaffe's in this one.
