Not quite .... I need another 1/2 to take me to halftime!!! 
We'll celebrate then!! I think my real celebration will be when I cross the 50 line ..... with the hopscotching, quite a few of the 55 are post-50 sequence!
I was tempted by the Bonnie Hunter one, but decided, no I have more than enough on the go!!
BCS = Border Creek Station patterns
The designer develops a pattern and then the LQS's offer it as a Mystery. We get one clue per month, for eight months. When I did the work on it last night, it seemed so strange after working with all the FWS blocks, ever so tiny! Strips were 3", sewn together then cut into 3x8" blocks, and some 3" squares. I think it took me about as long to do the first month's clue as it takes to do one FWS block!!!

I decided to do the Mystery quilt because of a pattern by the same designer that I did a few years ago, as a $10 quilt challenge. You can look at it here ... the quilt with the piano key border
Fairer than Fair at the Fair ...... the Results are In!!!
I figured if it got me a red ribbon (remember, that's a first in Canada), then chances are the Mystery wasn't much of a risk for disappointment!
