thru some of my fabs and need something interesting in this quilt. will wait till next week and see the next clue, maybe mediums!!!! now those are the interesting colors.
Vicki, like how you have consistency to yousr. mine are a mess of blah lights.

I have been lurking, wishing I had waited for this mystery. I jumped into BH GI for my first mystery and I can tell you right now that I will never do a quilt with 2800 pieces, 2 1/2 "squares again. I am finishing it but slowly.
I don't know if I have enough scraps to go totally scrapy. The last time we moved, we had to downsize DH said my bags of scraps had to go...sob. Now I really need them!

Everybody's looks great!
I'm working on my crumb-pieced triangles for the first quilt (I'm making two) right now. They're sewed. I just need to hit 'em with the iron. Then, onto the second set of triangles, which will also be at least partly crumb-pieced. It'll probably be late this evening or early tomorrow morning before I get the second set done. Glad to be getting some of my teenier scraps out of the way.

Here are some photos of Quilt #1's pieces so far. My triangles are a little oversized, in case of "operator error". I always cut them a smidge too big anyway. I'll wait and see what the next step is before trimming them.

And here's the blocks they go with:

Here's the kitten at 2 days old, in my husband's hand. He still had his umbilical cord and wasn't much bigger than a roll of quarters. His mom (apparently a stray) either abandoned him or something happened to her. The kitten was behind the bushes beside our front porch, crying his little heart out. Luckily I heard him. I watched through the window, and waited for hours, but the mom never showed back up. Hubby was at work, so, with great difficulty (I have a bad knee and use a wheelchair part of the time), I managed to climb in behind the bushes and retrieve him. Hubby checked as soon as he got home, but there was no sign of any other kittens. He's almost 6 months old now, and is doing great. Strong as an ox! (Pardon Hubby's lack-of-shirt. )
