I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

I'm keeping an eye on this one and may do it later. Your colours look great so far!
ReplyDeleteI too and in the limbo phase. I need to finish what I have started but then I would like to use up some of my stash and looks like a fun thing to join in. Maybe after Chrismas. Don't know. I'll watch you ponder for me. 8-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it if you do it Elaine. I usually read along with the mysteries, but have found that I really DON'T like that many seams in a quilt top.
ReplyDeleteI had looked at Tonya's Legos piece along, but figured out that in her 70" width of flimsy, there are also 35" of seams! That's 105" of fabric in a 1" X 70" row...way too over the top for me. I do like your colors! Good luck with your decision. Hope your turkey time was wonderful. Hugs, Finn
I wasn't sure if I wanted to start either but I have both of the first 2 steps done. I am sure it will be lovely though! Love your pinks!
ReplyDeleteooooo, pretty! I love Bonnie's projects. Really wishing I could join in on this one, but too much backed up. LOVE your colors. You should do it!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid if I don't do the mystery as it is revealed I won't do it at all. So many pieces are daunting and time consuming. If I don't know how many pieces are involved I am not so overwhelmed. I love all of Bonnie's quilts, so I know I won't be disappointed. I would be disappointed if I didn't make it.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the progress with interest. If I love it I will buy the book next year. There is no way on earth I could squeeze it in now! You have very unique colors. Sounds like it will be nice. Can't wait to see how this all turns out.
ReplyDeleteOh go on ... commit to doing it!! I'm only making half quantities of units at this time and have the QSTs done, but haven't started on the strings yet. Hopefully today :)
ReplyDeleteI just following along this time. I have finally used all the parts from Carolina (which was a spectacular failure for me due to a poor choice in value placement) and Christmas Lights is still unfinished. Helen's decision to make 1/2 size is tempting....I may rethink joining in the mystery now. Your color choices are striking. Can't wait to see the result.
ReplyDeleteI think your color choices are lovely. How can you not do a Bonnie mystery? I know, very busy time of year, lots of other projects w/due dates. I have 3 other quilts in various stages of being flimsies. 4, if you count a binding on last years RRCB!! (It's still @ the longarmers, tho.) Good luck on your progress....Debra in Ma.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing: yes, no, yes, no and finally ok, I try :)
ReplyDeleteYor is a great color choise, good sewing!
It looks like it's a good chance that it's yes, and what pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, keep going if you can! I am enjoying seeing people from all around the world joining in on the fun.Hi from Leeanne in New Zealand!
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are just so darn cute. Even if you don't end up joining in the fun, you'll have some really cute blocks to use for something else. You're pinks look great!!
ReplyDeleteSeems like it is a yes! Your blocks look great.
ReplyDeleteFor someone who's still "on the fence" you have quite a few blocks sewn! lol. Just jump in, that's what I did.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are really nice, Elaine!
