Celtic Mystery - Yikes!

There is a good reason to take a picture as you go....little mistakes stand out.  I found two units turned the wrong way right away.  With just six blocks to go, I was so close....out comes the ripper.

Linking up with Bonnie's gang at Quiltville,.... there are so many pretty colors over there.  It is amazing that Bonnie has such a large following.  Even though most of us were snowed under with other projects and holidays, we show up every year to get the Bonnie "high". Yep, an addiction is an addiction...no way around it.

Rainbow Design Wall and Mystery Update

 The last of the 2013 Rainbow Challenge Blocks are on the wall.  Next was the audition of several fabrics for the sashing.  Funny, the ones I like the best, I did not have enough.  Then I remembered the left over fabric from the backing of another quilt -- Perfect -- and I even ended up with scraps.

Like the one done yesterday, I used 5 1/2" sashing and golden yellow corner stones.

Just in case a close up is needed -- see the butterflies, very girly indeed.

I am all caught up on the Mystery Steps, needing to move them to a larger basket.  Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Mystery is about to start taking shape and I want to be totally prepared.  There is a "Football" quilt on the quilting frame; the last 2013 Rainbow Challenge coming down off the design wall; and Rainbow log cabin top waiting in the wings to be quilted.

Can you tell, I am on vacation ..... Linking up with Judy's Design Wall at Patchwork Times and Bonnie Hunter's Step #5 of the Mystery Quilt.

School Pride / Mystery Update

 

Newest project on the design wall -- a quilt for my Great Nephew's school.  The colors are burgundy and white .... with a Tiger mascot in Silsbee Texas.  I pulled out a favorite pattern which will be a perfect school two-color quilt.  Although you cannot see the close-up of the white on white, it is from the "Quilt Across Texas" collection.  I bought 10 yards last month and ordered 5 more yards -- basic staple.

For Bonnie's 2013 Mystery, I am done with steps 1 and 2.  The perfect "leader and ender" project while I am working on the Christmas Projects.

The Mystery Begins!

Yep, I have a thousand projects going on, but I would never miss the Bonnie Mystery!  Like many others, I could hardly sleep Thursday night waiting on the first clue.  I am making the smaller quilt, because I just finished a large 96 x 96 quilt for a Christmas present.  My colors are green, yellow, pink and purples...with white on white background.  I'm done with step 1, so now I have to wait patiently for the next clue.

For a look at the others -- beware, there are lots of them -- visit Bonnie at Quiltville.
