BleuRose, I got your email message, but not sure how to work that part of the forum. I did it once a long time ago, but forget the process. So I will just respond here.
My reason for jumping into the Kaffe Mystery quilt was for a totally different reason than most quilters here. I do not have Kaffe in my stash, but I have to admit I am
learning to love the color combinations and fabrics so that is an added benefit to playing this game. I got EQ8, a quilters software, a couple years ago. It has a real learning curve
to mastering it, and I have barely scratched the surface. It allows you to take screenshots of fabric and import the picture into the software to use like fabric. Everything
I have done one this project is virtual. No real fabrics, no real blocks. But it allows me to keep tweaking ideas until I get a quilt the way I love. By doing this as an EQ8
project and staying up with what you all are doing, it is making me work my skills of drafting blocks, doing quilt layout combinations etc. And I love the EQ8 projects
that Donna2018 and Diane Ross have been doing also with the Kaffe Mystery quilt. And pines is using EQ8 to make variations in the actual blocks she is making. Makes me look at the different ideas that come into peoples heads with the same goal in mind. A Mystery Quilt. I am probably the only one who is not making a physical quilt in this project, but
I am doing the TQS BOM 2020 and I have a number of other projects going at the same time. So the answer to your question, am I already finished. No, and it might be
that I will be starting to actually make a NON-mystery Kaffe quilt about the time you do finish.The non mystery is that I will know what it will look like ahead of time. Having lots of fun and learning lots of stuff. HelenW

These pinwheels are kickin' my caboose! The video was pausing a lot today. I know we are doing a 4-pinwheel block that should end up at 6.5 inches. What is the cut size of the small pinwheels, please? Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem with the single wedding ring block as Busmama13. I ended up splitting the difference between opposite sides but making sure I still had a quarter inch at the points. I lost a couple of points in the block but not all of them. Something is off on the measurements. Sorry ladies I think I posted in the wrong feed!

Most of the fabrics are Kaffe Fasset but I had to include some others to color it the way I wanted. The applique is not using a stained glass effect but that would be fantastic especially if the sashing was changed to black. Actually, I think it looks outlined is because I've changed my EQ8 line drawing setting to be extra dark.

Donna2018 - love both settings, and the applique addition! Are those Kaffe fabrics? If not, what is it - lovely stained glass effect?

Have they fixed the live from today? When I tried to watch, it was only a minute or so of the end.

You can see in this on-point design how different the sawtooth block looks. I prefer the horizontal one.

Well this is what i gave done so far to catch up. I just got my fabric this last Monday. You won't see the Single Wedding Ring block in here cause I'm having trouble with it. I have checked, double checked, and yes triple plus checked my cutting sizes and they
20200807_170716.jpg

are all correct. BUT... when I put my 2 1/2" cutting ruler, marked in 1/4" all around like Alex said, on my center sewed diamond square it is too big. By about an 8 th of an inch. Did anyone else have this problem? Very frustrating.

I really love the sawtooth block when it's in a vertical setting. When it's turned on point it looks completely different and I don't like it as well. So I created a horizontal version.
