    Hi all
    Well I finally got my clue #4
    I could not get it on Fri. or Sat as my life's busyness just did not allow it. Picked it up today after work and now Dinner over, dishes done (for the most part) and hy DH watching hockey! I am off to the basement to sew.
    Can't wait to see what my colours will do with this new turn. If you are at all ablr to post your progress I would love it!

    Nite

    Unhappy mistake MISTAKE MIStakE!!!!!!!!!

    Ohhhhhhhh
    I am working on #4 and I have sewn the second side on to the rectangle at the completely wrong angle!
    AND I was trying to be like QuiltE and be practical and save the corners so I have double seamed all 30 pcs. So instead of what I think you might term a snow ball I have parallelograms. Thank goodness I have only cut 1. So now the thoughts in my head. Keep it and see how it changes the BCS mystery or seam rip them all out Or just say 'give' and do no more wait for the reveal and make my decision then..

    Boo Hooo

    Oh poor you BCQLaur ... I know it's hard to decide whether to fix it up now or later. I'd be worried if I left it for later that it'd just end up joining the UFOs for ever and ever. Yes, it's a little extra time and work now ... though I'm sure you'll be glad you did it, once you get it done! Cheer Up, BCQL ... I feel for you!

    Hi
    So I did quit ...

    for a while...
    then I decided to work on the first quilt top that i made over a year ago and never finished because there was always something more pressing.
    I sandwiched it, trimmed it up and cut the binding.
    I hand sewed it . This took a couple of weeks as I work full time. (an care for my MIL who has sufferd a stroke)
    I remained abit upset and finally took my seam ripper in hand and started taking things apart.
    so I now have the next two clues so i have finally!!! completed one step. I will post a pic
    as you can see the feather fabric is directional
    the one you see here is symmetrical but some aren't so i will have to decide what to do sooner then later.[ATTACH=CONFIG]320129[/ATTACH]

    Hi BCQLaur ... I love the look of what you have shown there. That fabric is phenomenal and I love seeing it at each step.

    I picked up Clue #6 the other day ... won't be doing it til my FWS top is all together. And it is coming along pretty good, so soon I'll be back to BCS Mystery!

    BTW ... are you going to show us pics of your now finished up PhD? Sure would be nice to see it!
    And am going to be watching for your next steps in the BCS!



    And where are all the other BCS'ers????
    Come back .. come back, wherever you are!!!
    Please!!!!!!!!!

    hi all!!!!

    Well, I missed the last meeting on Saturday so stopped by the quilt shop to pick up my clue this week. LOL, the QS owner knows me so well!!! She asked if I was keeping up, I said sort of...she said I knew it! She's been waiting for that as she was surprised that I signed up for the mystery quilt.

    The MQ is being hosted by one of the instructors/employees of the shop, that's who convinced me to try it. And it's ok...but my style is more random, and not really doing what everyone else is doing.

    In hindsight, it may be more exciting if like some of you I picked my own fabrics. My QS owner tells me I'm very particular about my fabrics LOL...and no that's a good thing really. I'm off the wall and she loves it b/c colours and patterns don't scare me.

    So it could be that I'm working (not working) on something that really isn't my type fabric. I did go into it thinking it would be a great gift at Christmas for someone in my family, again something I don't usually do. I love to make quilts and projects without a purpose and when I'm done they always end up having a perfect home to go to.

    So it's time to buck up and deal with my issues and just do it. I'm off work today as I went home with a migraine yesterday...my eyes are still a tiny bit sore and my neck hurts but I'm getting ansty sitting here on the couch.
