I finished the first set of blocks for my Downton Abbey Mystery QAL. I ended up using a solid background instead of the DA one. I think it looks fine. I didn't want to wait until the fabric came in or I would be way behind. This is a Christmas gift for my sister. I told her she wouldn't get it til January sometime though.
It is called Titanic and I am using Sybil's color way.
I also am keeping up on my Fit For A Hero (FFAH) over at Judy's. It's kind of nice that it only takes about 30 minutes to do the step and be done with it.
And finally I spent half the day Friday and half the day Saturday cutting but I finally was able to start sewing on step one of Bonnie Hunter mystery, Celtic Solstice.
I was able to get 180 blocks done so I only have 100 more to go.
Even though I really am not a fan of cutting with a templates, the ruler really made this easier. It is a little time consuming but when you go to start sewing the blocks together it works out pretty darn good. I think it is amazing that these wonderful quilters go out of their way to do these free quilt alongs for us.

I'm such a chicken when it comes to the mystery quilts. Yours are coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love mystery quilts. It does take a leap of faith sometimes. I have a couple of people from work that are doing one for the first time so I have been getting lots of questions but that is ok.
DeleteYou're doing very well! I've gotten my Bonnie Hunter Mystery cut out. Will be sewing it up this week. And doing some knitting during the snow storm! Momma B
ReplyDeleteI don't want to talk about the snow storm unless we are buried under for the week which means no work and no school.
DeleteWow! lovely quilts in progress. I envy your Celtic Solstice... too many ufo's for me to start another big quilt. Your colors are great.
ReplyDeleteI am blissfully ignorant, or try to be, of all my UFO's.
DeleteIt's FUN sew along with all the others working on Bonnies Mystery. I thought I saw you in her class in October there in CS. I was there just before that for Jennifer's Book signing. I will have to schedule a longer visit next time. I'm waiting for a Local Store to carry the Downton Fabrics. So pretty! Not long until we get to see it in the USA!
ReplyDeleteYep that was me. I was in her class and loved it.
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeletethank you.
