it must be....I keep finding fabric on the cutting table that I am sure I put away....I think the word has gotten around about the great designs...and the fabric is volunteering.

I like the big chunky border.

Thanks. And thank you to the others who gave input about my quilt. I am making the blue blocks for the last side. So almost done with those. I put a red border on. I am going to have to add a small white border to make the blue border fit right. Then another small white border on the outside to even things out. The trick is figuring out the exact size for the white border. HELP! I'm hoping my son and hubby can help me figure it out. They are both really good at math.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the perfect fabrics volunteer to jump out of the scrap bins & stash closet just in time for when it is needed...would certainly cut down on the time it takes to find them!

More beautiful finishes. Mine is still just blocks. Been trying to finish up #8. Just lack back side of binding on it. My first QAYG so many things I would do differently next time but I still think it's pretty awesome. Again thank you Judy for these fun designs.

How did I miss Clue #4. Went back to 3-14-15 and no clue. Did it come early or is there not a Clue #4? Just need the post # and I'll find it. Could have sworn we were told #3 was the final clue or are we suppose to finish it however we want as I see some have added sashings and/or borders or various blocks. Thanks. Love these train rides though have yet to make one. But one of these days I will if I ever get caught up with my UFOs.
