Bonnie Hunter had another clue to her mystery quilt, Grassy Creek Mystery, on her blog today. I'm almost done with clue #3 but I had to see how clue #4 was going to look. So I made up one this morning. Once I finish the last of my #3 blocks, I'll be ready go!
I like the way it looks. I'm really curious to see how this block will be used in the quilt. Is it sashing? Will it have more pieces added to it? Looking forward to the next clue!
The mystery quilt progress is coming along. I'm working on Step 3 of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt Along, "Grassy Creek". I do have a link attached but it won't work once Bonnie removes the clues from her blog and it becomes a pattern in her shop or in one of her books.
So far I'm happy with how they are coming along. I do think I may lose a few points once they become part of a block. I'm trying my best, but these are tricky! Love that I'm always learning.
How was your sewing today? Any tricky blocks for you?
Oh my! It is hard to say no to all these new projects! I started another one! This is another Mystery Quilt called "Winter's Walk" quilt along. A cute little wall hanging. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or give it away. Check it out here at Jen Daly Quilts. I have the first 3 steps completed.
One of the blocks. What quilt alongs or sewing projects have captured your heart during this time?
Startitis has hit again! The Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt was too much to resist! I have Clue 1 completed:
and Clue 2 is almost done.
If you're interested in her mystery, check it out here: Grassy Creek Mystery She will have this mystery up for a period of time for free at her website and then the pattern will be added to her store.
There are so many QALs and Countdown to Christmas, and other mystery QALs, it's hard to decide which one you would like to do. Which is why Startitis hits so hard! What are you working on? Has Startitis hit you?
Mary of Country Threads pulled the number for December's Dirty Dozen, Number 4!
My Number 4 is a panel kit I bought years ago at Prairie Star Quilts. The top has been done for a long time so it's time to get it basted and quilted.
I found my little ornament and it is done complete! My first ornament for 2020. And my October "Dirty Dozen" finish.
I bought this little kit last year on "The Great Fall Escape" bus trip. I am missing all those fun trips and shop hops. But I am getting some things made and using up some fabric that I had already purchased, so all is good.
Hope your day is sew happy!
Cutting fabric for a new quilt use to be one of the things I kind of dreaded. It seemed to take so long to get the fabric cut so I could get to the "fun part" of sewing. But my attitude has changed. I enjoy the cutting process now. Although some days it seems to take forever. For example when I was cutting background fabric for "Growing Up Odd", a free pattern from Wedding Dress Blue blog.
It's a little over 3 yards of background fabric cut into 2 inch strips. And then to the length needed to complete the block and for sashings.
