HAPPY NEW YEAR... EARLY REVEAL. I love it! It's just too late to start but I can't wait for tomorrow!
Never would have guessed the logs would be part of the On Point border! Clever Bonnie!
I have some calculating to do to figure out how big my "half clue" quilt will end up but I'm so anxious not to finish!
Really expected a couple more weeks but very glad the mystery is now SOLVED!
It's going to be a very buys sewing weekend for everyone.
Hope 2016 will bring peace and joy and happy quilts for all.

Bonnie turned the square blocks 45degrees so they were "on point" like this...

Well, this will take some thinking to assemble. My first problem is that I don't think I have enough of any one black to make the outer border, so may have to go fabric shopping. Darn, just hate that!!
Next, it has a scalloped border! Never done one of those, will have to decide if that will be another first "learning experience' for me on this quilt--probably should jump in and give it a go.
MrsSewNsew, on point means that the blocks are laid out on the diagonal rather than in straight rows/columns as a regular quilt. Because it is on point, we have to make setting triangles to finish the edges. This will be a first time making an on point quilt for me, but have been wanting to try it, so I am glad for this challenge.
Finishing this up will take some time. It won't be one that I will have finished anytime real soon. But don't want it to end up in the UFO pile!!!!
Good luck everyone, it has been a fun journey sharing this with you all. Will look forward to seeing everyones final progress to completion!
