Happy New Year! It's Mystery Quilt Day

I think this is my 7th or 8th New Year's Day mystery quilt from planetpatchwork.com. Today's quilt was super easy to put together and turned out really pretty.


 
I chose a blue/grey color palette.
 
 
We started off adding the lightest fabric choice onto some background squares.
 
 
Next we added another light strip to make a corner "L".
 
 
Now, we added some light strips to make a criss cross. This is starting to look like a path.
 
 
Next, we turned the previous blocks into a crossing path block with lattice and cornerstone. I actually traded out the original crosshatched blue I had chosen for a lighter leaf pattern. My original fabric was too close to my background fabric in value.
 
 
And finally, all of the path blocks are put together with a striped latticework and more background fabric for the borders. Another fun mystery quilt is in the books!
