    Joe'sMom, What a great job! I really like it. SusieQOH, so happy to hear of your niece, I am sure your quilt will help cheer her up in her recovery.

    I'm starting geese today! DH helped me figure out that I only need 55 + 55 rather than the whole number.

    They are looking great y'all. I'm hoping to sandwich mine on Monday. I have set a goal. But oh, how I dread the quilting of this one. It's huge!

    I did the same thing on borders. Had two sewn on before I noticed. I can live with it!!

    I've decided I will have to use the sashing after all, as my A blocks kind of get lost in the sea of B block neutrals; they really need something to set them off, not having much of an outer boundary of their own. This will make the blue centers of my B blocks redundant, and maybe kind of silly-looking. It always takes me quite a while to grasp all the subtleties of a Bonnie pattern.

    I didn't notice my borders were the same as Iceblossom's until someone pointed it out! They look fine, just different from Bonnie's.

    I really love my aqua, but I think it is too bright to use as sashing.

    For those, like me, who are staring at all those UFOs and still thinking about doing the mystery quilt for Laundry Basket Quilts, the start date has been pushed back. New start date is March 15.

    I found another aqua in my stash that will work. Of course, now it won't match the block centers, LOL.

    Glad you found more aqua Joe’s Mom.

    I’ve been working on a quilt using honey buns and it’s going so slowly but I like it. This is me playing with the blocks I have done at about the halfway point.
