I'm so pleased to be finished with 2008 and into a new year. To celebrate I decided to do Bonnie's New Year's Eve Mystery Quilt. Gave me a great excuse for a fabric shopping trip :o) Clue one has kept my pretty busy today - cutting, sewing, pressing, cutting, sewing... 120 blocks takes awhile. I think I'm 2/3rds of the way there. Bonnie is posting clues daily. Could be a challenge to keep up this pace every day, but I'm going to try.
My fabric choices look quite Christmas-like in the photo, so I've added photos of our tree and cake (which DH is currently devouring 'cos I don't eat fruit cake). I swapped green for Bonnie's indigo cos it just seemed to work. I didn't put include my background fabric in the photo - it is scrappy creams and beiges, the only useful thing in my stash.
Back to the sewing now!
Have fun with the Mystery Quilt -- I'm not doing it (can't let myself get sidetracked), but it's fun watching everyone else. Love that little garnish on the fruitcake.

ReplyDeleteI too swapped greens for the indigo, haven't started yet coz my ordered fabrics haven't arrived.
How did you go with the star BOM ?
I fell at the first hurdle, ah well the Double Delight will be delightful
