I chain pieced a whole bunch of units last night. I held up the endless string for my DH to see and he said "who need garland for the Christmas tree. You made it!"

I got my #3 done, pressed and trimmed. Probably won't get much more done during the next 7 days with family stuff going on. No plans for the holidays after this week is over, so I'll have lots of sewing time then.

LOL... I think you are one of the few in this group who has little children. I don't know how you do this with small children to tend to. When mine were little my sewing was pretty limited to making and repairing their clothes! Now that they are grown and on their own, I have lots of time to quilt. Still waiting to become a grandma one day...

I think I figured out how to join Bonnie's link up! (If it gets deleted we'll know I didn't) I have a Pinterest account but I can't remember if it's public or not.

I think all Pinterest accounts are public, but you can post things to private boards that you make.

Well, I’m started! Been feeding 3 grandsons & DH all weekend. More fun than quilting. It’s a close second! I haven’t figured out the Pinterest thing. I thought I did but don’t know where they went?

I only completed 60 geese, but moved on to clue #3 anyway.

I love your grays and pinks, Imanna! Everyone's units look great.

GramE, I'm in love with your warm neutrals. They will give your quilt a beautiful glow.

Thanks for the sympathy everyone, I have been very good about not using that finger to rub my eye LOL! Anyway, just got back from my 2nd post op and the eye is pretty much healed, but the vision will be variable for a few weeks at least. Right now, it's kind of blurry, but not painful. This morning it was quite clear. So I'm slowly working on clue 1. I finished clue 2 before the eye surgery. I'll wait for some unblurry moments to work on Clue 3--- that one looks like a doozy!

I've been going back to read the pages of this thread that I missed the last couple of days and am really enjoying seeing all the different color choices that have been made. Everyone's units are looking fantastic! It's fun reading the guesses as to what the various units will be used for. Kass-- you ought to make a bunch of extras so you can do the layout you've shown--it's gorgeous.
