Our newspaper said the low temp yesterday was minus 29 degrees. Glad I didn't know that - my thermometer at 7:00 am said only minus 20 degrees! Yikes.

Making progress - my blocks are all finished, pressed and lightly starched. Instead of blue corners, I chose a dark purple which is indistinguishable from much of the greens I used in the 9-patches. With all those pieces in each block I am amazed they fit together so well. I took the time to trim them exactly (well, as close as possible) to the 9 1/2 inches. Yikes, the vacuum cleaner is really filled with snips!. Pieces? 2298. I'm glad I didn't know THAT at the onset, but am VERY pleased with this lovely project, called DD Mystery Quilt from
Quiltville.com. A huge THANK YOU BONNIE! YOU ARE A TREASURE!!!
And here is Jody-Goddess's Tobacco Road/Row? all finished and quilted. She has
EVERYTHING in those scraps! We call her Jody-Goddess because she can do anything and everything, and all of it is done WELL!

Below is another of Jody's projects - She said this was a (corrected) Debbie Mumm project. How does one quilt a project like this? Aren't those blocks cute? Many of them have black buttonhole stitch around them, giving them even more definition. I can't wait to see it quilted.
