Sweatshop

I really should have been doing a lot of other things but I felt driven today to make a dent in the Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt especially clue#3. I mean it's 8-patches, how long could that take!  I started sewing at eight this morning and didn't stop until four.  Whew!  I was convinced I had overshot the goal but that turned out not to be the case.

I was hoping to get the whole lot made today but fatigue and hunger got the best of me.

Here's the finished unit.  I'm kind of regreting not going with some other colors but it is what it is at this point.  

Linking up with Lee at WIP Wednesday.  Thanks for visiting!

Fabric Pull

I've decided to sew along with Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion Mystery quilt that begins after Thanksgiving. I'm not a regular reader of her blog and therefore have never done one of her Mystery Quilts.  I decided to jump in this time!  What challenged me was the black fabric.  I must never use black in my quilts.  I have exactly two pieces in my stash.  I bought a few fat quarters of black and the yellow fabric that Bonnie is using.  Everything else comes from my stash.  Anyone else doing the Mystery Quilt also?

Thanks for stopping by~
