Center Complete!

I'm now working away on the boarder blocks now that I have the center section complete, I hoped to be further along than I am, but work just seems to get in the way!

 The colors look a bit washed out in this pic, but I wanted to post it and analyze my layout for mistakes! Sometime I can only spot them in a picture - I've noticed other quilters have found the same thing. If any of you see an oops, please let me know.

 As I've  been working away, I've been listening to a book on my Ipod just as I usually do, and I have to say this one has me a bit riled up at this point -

I'm not done listening yet,  I'm at the part where Huguette is being exploited by everyone she should be able to trust - nurse, doctors, bankers.... making me pretty mad - I'm a nursing assistant, and can't stand the thought of anyone taking advantage of vulnerable folks. THIS IS A TRUE STORY.  Very interesting.

Happy to be this far!

OK, here we go! I got a late start on this mystery, but I'm determined to get the small quilt made.
 I've seen the reveal and LOVE the colors, and the "circular" effect the variety of blocks produces within the quilt.

Although I've only completed 9 of the large  blocks made from the 3.5" sub-units from previous steps to show my work so far, I have completed all the 4-Patch blocks, all the pinwheels, all the blocks from step 5 with the half square triangles, all fabrics are cut and ready to go for the remaining steps.

As I'm working on CS I'm occasionally  running some scraps through the machine from this quilt and others I've made for a future "crumb project". I don't really know what I'll be doing with these now, but I'll keep building them along with my CS quilt.

It's -14 degrees as I write this post this evening, much better than the -24 degrees we woke up to here in Minnesota today - stay warm everyone!

Happy New Year 2014

Bonnie's 2014 Mystery Quilt Revealed

What a great way to start the New Year, checked to see what may be new on Bonnie's site, and there it was! It's a beautiful quilt, and I'm so happy I am working on mine - and really looking forward to seeing some of the other coloration being used by other quilters.

Now it's time for me to get back to the machine and get this beauty finished for me!
