I'm always so impressed with what everyone is doing. This first clue of the Bonnie Hunter project wasn't too time consuming or hard so I'm pretty much done with a week to go, so I'll have to get out an extra project.

I have some thrift store large (over 12") cross stitch blocks from the 1970s that I will pull out and start working on. The blocks were the pre-printed type and the fabric pretty flimsy, first I want to back each block with a square of batiste, I will also put in a thin layer of batting and connect it all with careful quilting within the cross-stitch pattern. Then, I'll put the blocks together with sashing I've already cut.

But the real story for today is we are claiming the Aunt Debbie Bleeds Blue quilt as a lucky quilt -- Michigan beat Ohio yesterday in a good game with lots of good ball played on both sides... but Blue won!
