I am going to wait until I get clue #4 then get it done because the ones satin moon posted are interesting.
Thanks for the encouragement

I've got too many stokes in the fire! Dear lord the work load I signed up for habit of mine, oh that's pretty I want to do it, right at the end of the month I've got to start another BOM club (Ginger Rose), I go to my Bernina Academy once a month and have lots of homework for that, since they think I've got lots of time to sew, lol too much time on here. I'm trying to catch up on the B9P and now I just started the Star of Bethlehem last night. Promised DH I wouldn't sign up for anymore classes (didn't tell him last night I signed up for the shop owner's Tote class in April)

ta ta for real this time

Thanks! Looks like she's probably closer to me ... than you! :)
She's at the same stage as I am ... though I do have one more clue I haven't done yet!

She has finished the 4th clue it looks like. Have you?
I was intrigued by the five long strips. She has a tip about that.
I do not know if you are a long time quilter but I am sure you are more experienced then I.
Do you have any tips for those long strips or do you concur with hers?

I haven't heard of this before either but the previous one was really nice.

I love seeing your stuff and you display it so nicely. I still do not have this clue yet. Soo.... I just called the LSQ and they said the clue came in 5 min ago. Now it will depend if I can leave work a little early becuase they close at 5 and are a good 7-10min away from my work.
others I think we would all like to see peoples prgress every now and again. It would be great if you could get a snap of the work in progress. I really encourage this because I hope the we can each see everyone's quilt tops when they are completed and better yet the whole thing later when the project is completd right through to binding!!!! Will this 4th clue mean we are 1/2 way there?
anticipating mine and others projects
:thumbup:

Ok, I didn't accomplish my goal, I didn't get all those quarter square triangles (that's what they are called right?). Other then that I'm good!

Not much for me to show that's different as I'm using the seaside romance colour theme.

Tomorrow I get the next clue and I swear I will have it all down for the next month. Yep...I will.

Hi all
Well I finally got my clue #4
I could not get it on Fri. or Sat as my life's busyness just did not allow it. Picked it up today after work and now Dinner over, dishes done (for the most part) and hy DH watching hockey! I am off to the basement to sew.
Can't wait to see what my colours will do with this new turn. If you are at all ablr to post your progress I would love it!

Nite

mistake MISTAKE MIStakE!!!!!!!!!
 

Ohhhhhhhh
:oI am working on #4 and I have sewn the second side on to the rectangle at the completely wrong angle!
AND I was trying to be like QuiltE and be practical and save the corners so I have double seamed all 30 pcs. So instead of what I think you might term a snow ball I have parallelograms. Thank goodness I have only cut 1. So now the thoughts in my head. Keep it and see how it changes the BCS mystery or seam rip them all out Or just say 'give' and do no more wait for the reveal and make my decision then..

Boo Hooo
:thumbdown:
:(:(:(:(

Hi
So I did quit ...

for a while...
then I decided to work on the first quilt top that i made over a year ago and never finished because there was always something more pressing.
I sandwiched it, trimmed it up and cut the binding.
I hand sewed it . This took a couple of weeks as I work full time. (an care for my MIL who has sufferd a stroke)
I remained abit upset and finally took my seam ripper in hand and started taking things apart.
so I now have the next two clues so i have finally!!! completed one step. I will post a pic
as you can see the feather fabric is directional
the one you see here is symmetrical but some aren't so i will have to decide what to do sooner then later.[ATTACH=CONFIG]320129[/ATTACH]

What does PhD stand for? Please

hi all!!!!

Well, I missed the last meeting on Saturday so stopped by the quilt shop to pick up my clue this week. LOL, the QS owner knows me so well!!! She asked if I was keeping up, I said sort of...she said I knew it! She's been waiting for that as she was surprised that I signed up for the mystery quilt.

The MQ is being hosted by one of the instructors/employees of the shop, that's who convinced me to try it. And it's ok...but my style is more random, and not really doing what everyone else is doing.

In hindsight, it may be more exciting if like some of you I picked my own fabrics. My QS owner tells me I'm very particular about my fabrics LOL...and no that's a good thing really. I'm off the wall and she loves it b/c colours and patterns don't scare me.

So it could be that I'm working (not working) on something that really isn't my type fabric. I did go into it thinking it would be a great gift at Christmas for someone in my family, again something I don't usually do. I love to make quilts and projects without a purpose and when I'm done they always end up having a perfect home to go to.

So it's time to buck up and deal with my issues and just do it. I'm off work today as I went home with a migraine yesterday...my eyes are still a tiny bit sore and my neck hurts but I'm getting ansty sitting here on the couch.

BC_QuilterLaur, I love those fabrics, the feathers just add a bit of whimsy, good for you!

Oh QuiltE you are doing so well!!!!! I think you get a gold star for keeping up LOL. Your blocks are going to be very soft and soothing I think...I can't wait to see how the darker green is going to be incorporated in there.

Thankyou Yukon Viv
I decided the pheasant feathers and the stone inspired for my husband. I bought the fabric then did not know what I would make with it. Then when this mystery opportunity came up I hoped the pattern would work out. My bigger concern is the directional feature of the feathers as I did not notice it until later and so many pieces were sewn on in random order. So now I am living with it.

Thanks for your encouragement. It did eventually work!!!

first quilt top finally done
 

Now that I know what a PhD is I willl try to post my finished project. Funny thing is that my husband gave me a gift certificate for Valentines some years back and that is what started me in quilting so I made the first one for him. I picked out the fabric with him in mind so you will see some similarities on the colour [ATTACH=CONFIG]321192[/ATTACH]palette (hmm I do not know how to spell that)

So when I look at it the yellow does not jump out quite so strongly as it does in this pic

I hope you are feeling better now!
I can't remember if you have posted any pics. What clour way did you chose then of the deesignaed fabrics.

Oh and i was thinking it still is a mystery as it is a mystery quilt so it will be a mystery as to who it will be just right for!!!!

Hi YukonViv
did I miss something there? I thought there were three colours for this quilt and that QuiltE had them all sewn in. I guess I thought the drk grn background was to have contrast when she was showing us her progress.

QuiltE
Are you planning on adding the dark green a little later as things go on? Is it perhaps your backing?

Wow I love to see other work. This is a great quilt! It must have been one of the hooks that got you deeper into quilting. Did you keep it? what size is it. Mine is a lap.
Have a great day, gotta get off to work.
