Finally, after many edits and a long search for a yellow, I have finished clue #1! My quilt will represent 'an evening at the Grand Hotel', as I ended up with a gold, and the evening photos of the hotel show the awnings looking a darker gold.

That is #1, #2, and #3 now complete. I am going to have some fun with clue #4. I plan to use my darkest, brightest and lightest pink and blue HST units, which didn't work well in the block, plus all the yellows I auditioned and rejected (there are about 30 of them, lol), and some gray neutrals that I was uncertain about mixing with my whites in the other clues. Onward!

Today I took my GI to a longarmer who will put it together with the batting and backing and baste it for me. I will then bring her home to quilt on my DM. I am excited to get her back, but it will be mid-April before it is done. In the meantime, I will work on other quilts and wall hanging. Loved the experience of doing my first BH MQ and look forward to many more. Love everyone's pictures.

Wow, I love your second version, Justflyingin! Very nice with the sashing. You are a very talented quilter!

That's amazing. I didn't take mine to quilt bee with me on Thurs. but I did hear a couple ladies talking about the BH mystery GI & I mentioned that I am in the process of putting mine together. They were ohhing & aweing over just the mention of it - come to my group!
Anyway, I'm taking the few blocks I have done with me Monday night to guild so they can see them & get them interested in doing it also.

layered, pined and halfway basted....planning on quilting on DSM today after finishing the basting....wish there was a LA here who would layer and baste.

That was kind of my first reaction on seeing the reveal!
What was she thinking? Why did I start this?
Fortunately it's growing on me and if I could get my sewing machine to cooperate I would be sewing now!
Maybe take it back to give them a second look!

Joesmom, your blocks look great. Can't wait to see the quilt in your evening color way.

I will show the whole quilt again when it's completely finished. At the first showing I did stand back and give them the long view, explained the "movement" in the pinwheels they should be looking for, and they still didn't seem to like it. Oh well...

TaDa! Hot off the sewing machine! (Not the longarm, yet!) I just finished mine.

Cindy60545 Love your finished quilt.
