Thank you both for your compliments on my avatar
The pattern is basically a modified tumbling blocks.
Last year I did the Craftsy BOTM, and one month the block was 'simple' tumbling blocks. Since I had previously made a quilt with this pattern, I decided to challenge myself a bit more by making see-through or 'glass' tumbling blocks instead.
I had some time before seen a tutorial somewhere online on making these and had taken screen-shots of the templates for reference. I'm sorry I can't recall where I saw it, so can't credit the author, but it was probably you-tube.
I did find after a couple of months of the BOTM I was modifying most of the monthly blocks . For instance one month was to be an appliqué basket, which I didn't really like, but I did want to practice the technique for making the handles, so I made several handles and wove the into an appliqué celtic knot! So my final product bears little resemblance to the Craftsy published quilt .

I have been reading about your quilt-a-long and love the completed projects. I haven't been here long, but I would love to join the group which begins in January. I plan to do Bonnie Hunter's mystery this month and I don't think it will be a problem to keep up with both.. May I join you in January????

Ooooo Bewlfry - great avatar -- where did you find the pattern?
Question for all you Bonnie hunter followers -- l've never done one of her mysteries, and found the first posting with the fabrics. Is this same place where clues will be posted?
P.S. Just to tease you -- finished all the clues and pictures for mystery #8. Do you know where your scraps are?
