At the next meeting, each of the participants were to bring 10 fat quarters of a fabric that coordinated with the focus fabric. These fabrics were passed out to the respective challenge groups. We are to bring our finished flimsy to show & tell at the June 2018 meeting. We were allowed to add some fabrics if we wished to.
I could not come up with an original idea for my project. I had decided I was NOT making a large quilt, I wanted something small, maybe around 36" square. In January, Country Lane Quilts started a mystery BOM called Friendship Garden. This mystery started in January and ended in June, and it was for a 30" finished wall quilt. I also like the name Friendship Garden, it was my friends from guild participating in this challenge.
I've linked to Country Lane Website and the mystery quilt. The mystery was a free BOM. I don't know how long the free pattern will be posted.
I don't know when this wall hanging will be quilted or what I'll do with it but I accomplished the challenge!
This challenge wallhanging is #8 on my list of projects for the year.
It was hard to get the true colors in the pictures. All that shiny gold is hard to photograph!
Linking to Oh Scrap, Show & Tell Monday With Bambi, Em's Scrapbag, Design Wall Monday, Love Laugh Quilt, BOM's Away even though this wasn't really a scrappy project.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's!
You did such a great job with this challenge. I really like how you used the feature fabric. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
Nice idea for a challenge and a great way to use a mystery pattern!!
A nice mystery challenge. Not too large. I am gravitating towards the gold fabric also. There is some in my stash and I have yet to use it. Lol.
Lovely fussy-cutting! The mystery was really a perfect choice for these challenge fabrics. Inspired and inspiring!
I love your finish here! Congrats on a lovely wall hanging from your mystery... to be honest mysterys rarely get done by me because I want to know what they will look like first! lol Kind of defeats the purpose though I guess. Have a happy Sunday Gretchen! Kathi
I just love this idea of sharing fabrics and coming up with a design - original or otherwise - and sharing finishes by a designated date. Did everyone follow through? I would love to see pictures of the other finishes.
The focus fabric is very pretty and has variety of color making it easy to bring in more fabrics to the mix. You did well with using it.
Guild is next Monday, June 25th. I do plan to take pictures of all the projects if I don't forget my camera anyway.
Neat Challenge! I like your wall hanging. It will be neat to see all the different outcomes.
Lovely job. It's always a "challenge" to figure out fabric for a mystery quilt. Nicely done.
Good job! I hope the others were as successful as you. It'll be fun to see what they come up with!
What a FUN project. Great job!
I love what you made with this BOM. I still have the final border to go and I'm happy I decided to give this QAL a try. I used it for practice with machine accuracy.
