February 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery Begins!

 First - which fabrics/fabric panel will we be using?

This is the Patriotic panel we will be using in our February Sweet Freedom Mystery quilt - isn't it gorgeous?!


MODA America The Beautiful by Deb Strain


My personal fabric choice for this mystery:


Fabric choices

I started out w/3 yards of the Red Stars & solid white Kona, 2 yards each of the Patriotic Blue and the Moda off-white w/white random stripes.  I have almost a yard left of the Kona white, 1 1/2 yards of the other fabrics.  

Once again - as we discussed in our January 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery, Clue #2, depending on 'which' patriotic panel you use, the finished quilt size measurements you choose, How you cut/sew/finish will determine just How Much fabric you will need for your February 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery.

My first February Sweet Freedom Mystery finished at:  56" x 67"

My second February Sweet Freedom Mystery w/optional 3" perimeter border finished at:  59" x  70"

AccuQuilt GO! Dies used:

  • GO! Strip Cutter 2 1/2"  (2" FINISHED) Die #55017
  • GO! Strip Cutter 3 1/2"  (3" FINISHED) Die #55032

Fortunately, I had 'most' of the fabrics I used in our February 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery in my personal fabric stash - had to shop for the Patriotic panel and the cream/white stripe from Moda...On Sale!  Wishing you the same Luck and/or Happy Shopping!  (Speaking of Sales - AccuQuilt is having a Dandy right now 'until' Midnight!)

Our first February Clue will release by February 11, 2022...See You Then!

Sweet Freedom Mystery - Intro/Fabric Requirements and...

As promised, it's MIDNIGHT 'somewhere' of December 31, 2019 , and it's time to release the fabric colors/yardage requirements for our Sweet Freedom Mystery so, without further ado - here you go! White/neutrals = 2 yards Red = 1 3/4 yards, includes enough for binding Blue = 2 1/4 yards  (can be a solid or print) Patriotic fabric scraps = 3/4 yard of various coordinating fabric prints/scraps at least 2 1/2" wide in various lengths will work great! Patriotic Fabric Panel = 24" x 44", I'm using one from Timeless Treasures/ Stars & Stripes Pledge of Allegiance , but ANY patriotic fabric panel w/similar measurements will work! *Backing fabric & batting = enough to finish your quilt.  This finished quilt size fits within the parameters of what we typically use for a Quilt Of Honor.  Those quilt size requirements may be found by following this direct web link  http://www.quiltsofhonor.org/quilters/ You may use ANY combination of white on ...

Clue #3 - February 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery/Reveal!

Image
It's that time again!   Time for our Big Reveal/final clue of our February 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery...and here it is! Big Reveal - Sweet Freedom Mystery/ February 2022 To complete your Sweet Freedom Mystery, you are going to need to add some more sashing to your previously sashed out panel. Add: One (1) 2" in-the-raw, (1 1/2" FINISHED) White sashing borders on 'each' side of the Red Star borders Press the White borders 'away from' the Red Star borders.  I realize this puts the border seams on the 'White' side of the sashing but, it's intentional to reduce bulk Once the White borders are pressed, Add one (1) 3 1/2" in-the-raw, (3" FINISHED) Blue borders to 'each' side, following the White borders.  Once again, press the Blue border seams towards the Blue fabric and 'away from' the White border Please Note:   these border measurements were used specifically to ensure the final star blocks will 'fit' within...

March 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery is HERE!

 Welcome to our March 2022 Sweet Freedom Mystery! First - beautiful fabric requirements...these are mine from my personal stash.   Red/White/Blue fabrics Trying to fulfill a 2022 goal of using as much of my personal patriotic stash this year to create beautiful patriotic quilts to Honor our Beloved Veterans and Service Members for the sacrifice and service for our country. Thus, between EQ8 giving me some 'wonky' fabric requirements, using my stash - which was originally  purchased because I liked the gorgeous fabrics and did not really have a project in mind - other than it would be 'patriotic ', so fabric requirements will be based on my best 'guesstimate' ! This month's Sweet Freedom Mystery lends itself well to yardage AND scraps, so dig into your patriotic scrap basked and let's have some FUN creating a beautiful patriotic scrappy quilt! My first quilt was created from yardage, my second will be from patriotic scraps.  Yardage requirements ar...
