When watching quilt cam a couple of days ago she slipped up and said she still had to write out steps 6, 7, & 8. So I'm guessing that's all we have this time. I know she's been trying to keep the step numbers secret sk I don't know if this was a slip or if she's just trying to trick us lol. I have all the way through step 5 done in mine and hope to work on step 6 some this weekend but DH doesn't like it when I go missing when he's home so might have to wait until Monday and be a little behind sin e she is giving us the next step then.

Yea! I think I am FINALLY caught up. I've managed to stay about a half a step behind since about Clue 3. But here it is! You can't see them in the photo, but I have cut out all the green triangles too (except I'm using yellow). I can't wait to do something with that last color. I too somehow managed to make a bunch of extra double bricks, and somehow cut about twice as many of the purple (mine are pink) "wings" for Clue 5. I was kind of hoping maybe I would wind up needing them for another step, but it's sounding like there won't be too many more steps. Maybe I can use them in a pieced border. And in true Bonnie style, I made lots of little "bonus" HSTs in step 5 (they aren't in the photo). They are tiny, barely 1 1/4", but I will use them in the border somewhere.

Xtgirl and Scraplady -- impressive! I'm still working on step 3. I feel like the little train that could as the mountain of unfinished products is getting higher and higher, but I can, I can, I....

Did you get a new embroidery machine for Christmas urgodschild? That will be a new fun toy for you!
Yes, Clue 7 New Years Eve, wow that is different for her! She also mentioned a RAPID FIRE FINISH! Maybe she will give us all the information we need to put this baby together all at once? She usually drags that out for several weeks too, leaving you in suspense longer! |
Clue 7 was up this morning, and evidently the 8th and FINAL will be posted tomorrow! What happened to a week between steps? I did wonder when she said she would be on the road again come January, if it was going to wrap up pretty quick. I can't wait to see what the finished quilt will look like. I think I'm seeing some stars in the future?

Wow, I just woke up and checked the site. This quilt is going to be gorgeous. I love her colors and hope that my substitution of orange will still look nice. I'm doing the planet patchwork New Years mystery quilt so easy street will have to wait, but wow, I can't wait to see everyone's!!!! Hope to finish it today! Lets see some pics!!!!
