I'm glad you found something to "make it to Friday". I agree going back and doing past ones wouldn't work for me either I love the camaraderie more then the quits and don't think I could sew 1 million repeats w/o it!!! lol

At some point I'd forgotten all about finger pressing...it is such a time saver.
Using a constant with scrappy to pull things together.
to not be afraid of 700 2" 1/2 square triangles.
that we can, as quilters alone, quilt with many other quilters
appreciate their progress, get questions answered nearly instantly
to take those answers with a grain of salt, and reread the instructions

I started the first mystery because I had breast cancer (2011) and my months of radiation started on December 1.
The friday clues gave me something to look forward to, during a time I balked at getting bread and eggs and milk.
I was sure I wouldn't be alive to eat them. But I could make it a week, for the next clue.

Since then a lot of really dark water has gone under the bridge, but I'm much better now
mentally and physically, and I'm in for this winters too.

On the other hand I'm retired and my quiltroom is ready. If I were still working full time or had a house full of kids I probably wouldn't be interested, there are only so many hours in the day. Sometimes I think about going back and doing the mysteries I was too busy to make. Um, I don't think so wouldn't be the same.
