    Will be jumping on the train at the next stop. I MUST finish quilting a quilt and get another one off the design wall. A warning to my stash, Judy's Mystery Train #8 and I are coming for you.

    Nuts the train just left the station as I was running to catch it. Guess I'll jump on when it passes next time. Heard noise in my fabric room last night. Think it was the scraps hiding.

    Just realized today was Sunday and that I missed your first clue yesterday... didn't want to miss out on the fun so jumped on board in the knick of time. Judy, thank you for taking the time to do conduct the mystery train rides.

    Hi there I'm hoping to jump on board the train by Tuesday, currently running alongside on a galloping horse .

    Quick question for Judy - is there any reason to say I couldn't substitute these 4-patches with string blocks?

    I've used most of my larger scraps, but do have a drawer-full of strings which are crying out for attention

    I probably won't get around to looking at scraps until Tue or Wed. I'm hoping I can use a bunch of my late MIL fabric for this! Love the fact that the first clue is a four square! That's about my speed after the BH Mystery Quilt, which STILL has a long way to go!

    What a wonderful way to use up our scraps. Thanks to Judy and thanks to my sister Jo for telling me about this project. I've already spent a couple years (yes years) trying to use up the scraps I've collected while I've been quilting and buying more fabric. Now I'm trying to clean it all up and find I have way more scraps and fabrics than I know of. Maybe I'll even do two "train #8" quilts.

    I have a zillion quilting goals for 2015. Unfortunately I didn't include any housekeeping type goals, so today I won't let myself work on my four patches until I do some cleaning. Bummer! Bet I set a world speed record cleaning today. So look for a case of Four Patch Fever to break out about midafternoon.

    Looking forward to the ride, it should be a good one. Have some other commitments today, but I will get my four patches sewn before next Saturday. Thank you Judy. I sure it will be a very fun and scrappy quilt.

    Four patch fever -- like that term! Our pastor cancelled church this morning as there's a severe outbreak of 'flu in the county and folks are being cautioned not to gather in groups. Seems strange to be home on a Sunday morning.

    I dropped off some breakfast tacos in the club car. Egg and bacon and (my favourite) bean and cheese. Oh, and two jars of homemade salsa also. The one with the red ribbon tied around it is really spicy, so be careful but the other jar is mild.
