| Carolyn of My Sisters Quilts quilt shop gave the program for March on Mystery Quilts |
 |
| She uses EQuilt to design her mysteries. She has designed over 65 mystery quilts. She recommends drawing out a design on graph paper if you do not use EQ, if you see a design you like and want to play around with it. |
 |
| She gave us some tips on doing mystery quilts successfully. Consider the size of prints you use. Use a pop of color. Use a color wheel. Use the black or white function on your phone after taking a picture of your fabrics to easily determine value of fabrics. |
 |
| She also enjoys seeing what secondary patterns are created by moving the blocks around. |
 |
| She showed us many of her designs |
 |
| Leanna has done many of Carolyn's mysteries. |
