Then, assemble two different block rows – as detailed below in today’s blog posting.

Loved the mystery BOM quilt this year. Curves are always daunting but your tutorials and tools made this one look doable. Thanks very much and please keep up the good work!.

Sewing along to make a mystery quilt is a rewarding way to use those “spare” 10-20-30 minute blocks of time we all cherish.
Pat Tans
Having fun on the curves with these blocks!

I love your color combinations for these. I’ll have to try out the patterns with curves–looks intimidating for a new quilter like me, but your directions look nice & clear!
