Fun to see all the progress on the Mystery quilts!

I did mine like Geneva. In the first round of border, you do not have to join In the second border you do have to join. Mine was a busy print, so the joints didn't show too much. My finished square is 49 inches from edge to edge.

Rosemary, they are pros and cons for both. Lengthwise borders have less stretch which is good. But it makes the fabric left over "short" for cutting 42" future strips for blocks. I cut mine by the width and pieced the borders with a right angle join. It doesn't show much at all. And, the fabric design and color will make a difference on how much the join will show.

Have fun! geneva

Enjoying your colourway Lorra. It is really great to see all the different colour combinations that can come from the same description.

I've got my Dec blocks sewn together, but haven't cleared enough of my sewing table to cut the borders yet. I am also debating whether it would be safe to cut the borders from the length of fabric rather than width to avoid having to do any joins on the outer lengths - should I or shouldn't I?

Thanks everyone! I had a lot of trouble with the little squares and I did starch them stiff. I am hoping the log cabin blocks will be easier. Terrie, I really love the quilt. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Love your quilt Lorra

Luann, your log cabins look great. As an alternate to paper piecing, you could just use STARCH. Works for me!

I finished my log cabin blocks earlier this evening. I think I need to do paper piecing when the pieces are on the small side.

Cathy, Love how your mystery is looking! I finished piecing the November blocks today. Might complete December on Thursday! Thank you for sharing!

Cathy, it looks wonderful!! Can't wait to see your log cabin blocks.

It's fun to see everyone's colorway.

I will work on sewing the log cabin blocks tomorrow. I feel I am caught up and will be finishing January soon.

Here is the picture I promised. Don't look too closely at the points. I am wishing I would have paper pieced the squares.

It looks a little dark on the right side. It was late last night and no light coming in the windows. I need to get some better lights up in this area.

Well, I am in catch-up mode too. Yesterday I finished my November clue. I had to rip half and redo, but should be OK now. Today I am going to do the December clue and maybe even the January. I will have to clean off my work table to be able to cut the border strips, but that shouldn't take too long. I am anxious to see it with the borders on. My pictures are on my new cell phone. I will have to figure out how to get them on here. I am not too techy.

Geneva,
Your log cabin blocks look great. I have finished mine but have not taken a picture yet (maybe later). I took the easy way out and paper pieced my log cabin blocks.
