That is a *beautiful* quilt, Janice! I'd lose my mind with all the corner beam units... yikes. I'll be cheering you on from here!

Janice, I always look so longingly at the BH quilts then sanity sets in and walk away from the patterns. I know my own quilting styles and skills. Her wee bitty piecing is not for me, I can admire the finish, the skill, the colors but I do not long to make them. I do have to say, a friend who had to give up quilting gave me a pattern and a partially pieced BH quilt from one of her early books. I will take it on someday only because it was given to me with a promise to complete it. Until then, I will be watching your progress and finish on the beauty you have started. Amazing.

I am certainly impressed with the production of so many blocks in the past few days. Such effort and such unique results. Congratulations to all.

WMUTeach, I love the scrappiness of BH’s quilts. I’ve made larger ones, Bear Branch is my favorite, and then small 1/4 versions of others like last year’s Chilhowie. Morning Glories spoke to me so I started it plus I wanted to do the pp’ing for a change. I’m complaining at this point but I know I’ll finish this one as I love the colors and the setting. I’ve done a lot of cutting up front so I’m actually in good shape. Am looking forward to see what she comes up with for this year’s Mystery Quilt.

SBG, really, more than anything else, it’s the blasted trimming that’s so irksome. Can only do a handful at a time. I actually love making the units.

I had a productive sewing day Yesterday and I only have one more block to complete. The First one is for Libster, Then Sewbizgirl, SusieQ, Terriamn and the last one is for Annaquilts. Hope you like

I’ll say you were productive yesterday! Five terrific blocks to show for it. Love you color choices and all those dragons. 😀

Love your blocks, Lstew! Thanks so much for mine. All are great!

Lstew, love my block, thank you! You made some beauties!
Janice, I love the mystery aspect of BH's quiltalongs but honestly, I don't like the results. I made 2, in fact I'm getting Rhododendron Trail back from my quilter in a couple of days and it turned out nice but the first one was a disaster. Even my husband didn't like it and he likes everything I make. It was sooooo busy! It made me dizzy looking at it LOL. I took it apart and now it's in a heap somewhere. All that work.......
Please note- I've seen some beauties made by others so I'm not knocking it. I just don't think they're for me.

My last one for Libster, I hope. I need to count my little baggies. I have a habit of putting the baggies as book marks in my block book on a pattern I think would look good with the fabric. So I need to count.

Lstew love your blocks, especially mine with the bright yellow

WMUT I totally agree with you on BH quilts. Love the results but definitely not something I enjoy making.

Hubby told me to pace myself and I laughed and said if you will I will! Will know in 2 hours if his replacing the pipes worked. He found the problem with the electricity, the contractor over twisted the wires instead of using one of those black connectors and made a real mess in the electrical box. He is almost done changing them out. We should be ready to rock and roll.

Oh, Susie, I’d be interested in seeing your RT when you get it back. As for the other mystery quilts, I downloaded a lot of them as the clues were posted but only made one. I like knowing the final product. Seldom is a quilt “too scrappy” for me but I prefer knowing what I’m making as I go. I’ve made several others that weren’t MQs and have loved them. Bear Branch is my favorite but I still haven’t taken it to the LA. I better get on that! It is below.
