The design is revealed!

Bonnie Hunter surprised us with the reveal of the mystery quilt as the New Year rang in.  Of course, being of a certain age, I was sound asleep and didn't find out about it until mid-morning of New Year's Day.

First I gathered all my units and stacked them in order to make the blocks.  Then I made one of each just to be sure I understood the directions, and was ending up with blocks that were the correct size.

As of nighttime on Jan.2, 2014, I had made 9 of the blocks and although they are not stitched together in this photo, you can still see the beginnings of the final design.  As of this morning, I have 17 of the blocks put together, which is approximately 1/3 of them.

Carole Doyle - Part 5

To begin this week's mystery unit, I had some rather dubious help.  My sweet kitty and I had some creative differences as how best to cut, count, and arrange the parts.  We finally finished, but not as quickly as I had planned.

Once my helper decided she needed to get on the ironing board behind the sewing machine and take a long nap in her kitty bed, I was able to sew.  Eventually I managed to finish the 100 split triangle units needed to finish mystery Part 5.

Even with company around, I managed to make my 120 four-patches, plus an extra 14 of them just by combining leftover parts of the strips I had used.
