I feel the same way here in southern Arizona, been here since 1988. Before that, I moved to Los Angeles from upstate New York. That first year in LA, I had the front door open, wearing shorts and was barefoot, while I decorated the Christmas tree -- and the ice cream truck tinkled down the street. Welcome to La La Land, I thought to myself. Of course, 3 years later I was wearing a coat as I got used to the weather, and I was cold in the winter!

Love, love everybody's choices. I've gotten a bit behind, but my strips are cut for this step and hopefully will be sewn and cut tomorrow or Sunday. Then I'll post a pic and only be 2 days behind the rest of you. This colour scheme is growing on me.

Way to go, Belfry, glad you like your colors, I thought they were pretty.

I am so far behind i have no Idea if I will be able to catch up. I do have one set of strips sewn for one of the 9 patches so far.

I hopped on board the train when it passed through Montana. Been sitting in the observation car, and now decided to mingle about. Hi all. Just got all my steps done to-date. This is my first mystery quilt and it is fun! Judy, thanks! Here are my blocks; I'm thrilled they've been passed by inspector Samir.

I am all caught up and ready for the new clue tomorrow. Too tired to take pics. I spent 8 hours quilting 2 table toppers and 2 wallhangings for a friend. Now I need to figure out how much to charge her. Maybe I will just tell her how many hours and she can decide how much to pay me. She has A LOT of money and is very generous.

Can't wait for the next Clue! We are going to have some very awesome quilt tops from this Mystery train ride!

Sapphire, I love your cat, what a cutie

I love the cat inspector too. I am such a sucker for siamese then give me a ragdoll or any other long hair siamese and its all over for me. I have had three in my life. Wonderful little love bugs. And those colors are really nice Saphire. Dungeon yours are very cool and subdued love it also. Such variety everybody. Wouldnt this make a wonderful quilt show afterwards.. all the same quilt but all so very different and all will be quilted differently. I know lets have one! right here! lol wait we are.. oh yeah. well almost an original idea.

Being behind seems like a big one but your not that far .. just keep at it nelco. I was only up to the half squares last Sunday and now I am caught up. So finish those and keep at it. One strip at a time. (lots of strips in this one lol).

dungeon you've laid some of your peices together which makes sense the last ones we made ,enough to make 24 blocks which would be 9 patches just cant figure out the rest a real jig saw puzzle
