Great reveal! I love how this all came together, and the secondary design is so well thought out. Another great mystery train ride, many thanks Judy!
Won't be able to sew today but I am planning to try and finish this project tomorrow.

That is a great pattern! I love the on-point look. Thanks so very much, Judy.
Just one question -- you had us start out making nine pinwheels. Do we need 12 as it seems like there are 12 blocks?

Belfry I mentioned in my posting this morning, that you were originally given instructions to make 9 blocks. I made 3 more after my daughter didn't want the top I was making for her. My top will go tot charity.

I got home from my motorcycle trip a few hours ago-1400 miles. I look forward to this Saturday’s clue! I was so busy riding great roads I didn’t have time to miss quilting. Weird, right? I trimmed a few HSTs I sewed before leaving on this trip. It was fun but my rear is tired! I’m not an iron-butt (a rider who can do 1000 miles in 24 hrs).

I had back surgery in January and haven't been able to ride yet---my neurosurgeon wanted me to wait 3 more months---but that wont work...we have a trip planned the last week of June--first week of July---so she asked if I could wait 1 more month? Of course---that will be on the 24th of this month---and of course we are having beautiful weather now!! So I have lots of time to sew. I did a Lawman 1000 a few times---wasnt all that bad--start extra early--take lots of butt breaks---LOL LOL

Thanks for the explanation, Judy. As you mentioned some of us don't read the script before we look at the pictures. I like the 12 block one better as people are not square. This size will be perfect for a nursing home quilt.

I've been sewing all day - and still have a lot of piecing to do, but I also was planning on 36 block instead of 9. Now that I see the whole pattern, I think I'm going with 5 across and 6 down, and then will use another 12" each side for the border.
I was really excited to see how it was going to look with my fabrics, so sewed up four blocks to put together. I'm glad I kept looking for a background that I really liked.

Macybaby: I agree your background fabric works very well with the other colors. You have a great sense of color combinations.
Conchalea and RJ: I can't imagine riding that far on a motorcycle. However, I have never driven one but my sons have had 'rockets' and they didn't like riding long distances or with a large group. My oldest will be selling his rocket and getting a real motorcycle. Also, Conchalea: Looking for courthouses would be an interesting hobby.
