Turtle Time

Yep that's right, I am as slow as a turtle with the Grand Illusion mystery.  I barely made it for the link up this week and last week just flew by without a post at all!

Here is what I accomplished this week. 

 Pathetic, I know, but at least I am trying to play along LOL!

I did actually get a few sample pieces done the week before too.  When I saw the clue I thought "Oh NO!" because I hated sewing the chevrons for Celtic Solstice but these went together fairly well and I decided to save those little bonus triangles and boy are they cute!

On the yahoo group someone mentioned these blocks reminded them of Good & Plenty and I thought so too. 

Want to play along?  Quiltville Mystery Clue 3 is the place to be this week!  The next clue will be released tomorrow.

Cheers,

It's Grand!

Is it possible to work on not one, but two Bonnie Hunter patterns at one time?  I'll let you know as the blocks for my Pineapple Blossom quilt are nearing completion and now it's time for Bonnie's mystery.  I am not going to pressure myself into keeping up with the mystery, but I will try to do a little each week.  After all, how can I avoid cleaning house if I don't have several sewing projects going on at one time!

I absolutely love the colors Bonnie selected for Grand Illusion and I was able to pull just about everything from my stash.  I am a little worried about not quite having enough of the yellow I selected but when I did Easy Street I ended up not using all of my constant fabric and I have my fingers crossed it will be the same this time.

I am also happy to report I have quite a few cat fabrics that will be making an appearance in my blocks.  Now isn't that a big surprise!

The mystery just started so there is still plenty of time to join Bonnie so why not take the plunge!

Cheers!
