QNS, Don't we all say that!? 'The older we get, the faster the time flies!' :-)
Sounds like a lot of nice Thanksgiving holiday enjoyment going on last week! That's good. We all have so many blessings. Do count them for yourself, and they will really add up, I'm sure. :-)
I've been sewing on my candies, from the Birthday candy swap the last weeks. I hope to continue until I get this quilt done. (It's so easy for me to be distracted by various projects.)

I got the last half of my BH mystery 4P's pressed & trimmed down while in Midland.https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4858/...bb2e31a9_n.jpg

Then last night I did 16 of the HST's.

I am happy w/my the method I am gonna use. I am making 8 at a time. Now to go & cut more squares to make the rest.

Great looking tiny units, Bev! I've been watching the thread and even commenting, but have decided not to do it myself this year. I've done the last 4. They are like marathons... so great when you finish them.

I still need to finish putting my Allietare blocks together and finishing that one up. Don't know why I haven't. I completed the next two mysteries after that. I have a finished Grand Illusion on a bed upstairs, and my Ringo Lake on another bed, and I love them. I also finished En Provence but sold it, as I didn't love it when it was done. I have other Bonnie Hunter tops I've completed (not mysteries) that I need to get quilted. I just need a break from her style.

Love your substitution with the black. That's going to be a striking quilt!

I think the BH MQs are a lot of little pieces and work-- and I don't really like the mystery of it. I'd like it better if she did the reveal, then the clues. lol I'm not keen on using sooo much time for something I might not be satisfied with. I gave my En Provence away. It was a nice pattern, but I didn't like that it used up most of my neutral prints. I would have rather used them over more quilts, in a more sparing way, to get more out of them. I don't want to run out and buy more neutrals when I have so much other fabric that needs using.

Oh, yeah, there it is, my avatar! Yeah, it was cute, and I liked it okay. But I'm not going to rush to make another mystery...

dublb, I'm curious to see what yours will look like! Don't give up on it. :-)

I know what you mean givio...I've started a couple of small mysteries...guess I have a control issue:D. Like SBG said...the black is going to be very striking.

We have some rainy snowy weather here today...went to work and left at 12:30. We are around freezing and never know if it's going to be rain or snow..but slippery either way. One of the perks was I got my needed sewing needles and one of my friends gave me a huge zip lock bag of waste HST from one project with reds and creams. She knows I make mini's...often one's for our local school FR...going to check the bag out and see what's all in there. The squares made will probably finish at 1". A great leader and ender project!

dublb...it will be a slow process...lots and lots of triangles. I was thinking of doing some heart/valentine redwork and surround it with some flying geese made with the triangles. Thought I had an appropriate pattern book, but they are more nature inspired. I don't do much embroidery work so this will be stepping out of my comfort zone for sure!

I worked on the BS blocks tonight...I'm on week 2, QNS. Now have 9P's done for 10 of the 20 blocks...just keep plugging away at it! I've been distracted by some sewing I've been doing for our guild Christmas party.

I was on step 6 in the BS pattern when I realized I wanted to make it by each block...so I am off and running with that. 5 Christmas themed blocks done, and the sixth R,W,B block. I can make two a day of the RW&B blocks now that everything is cut out. Had to change the Christmas theme 'cause I got to the place of having 6 inches of background fabric and that was not going to stretch far enough for 20 blocks.
