I'm happy to have completed clue three of the Bonnie Hunter 2024 quilt along, Old Town Mystery. All my units were Accuquilt cut. It was fun digging through the smallest of red and neutral scraps and finding just the right size scrap to use. Some of the units have just ONE TINY PIECE of that fabric. That's scrapilicious!
I can't believe that I waited all these quilting years to finally buy that little tub of clips on Amazon. You can find them here. They definityly come in handy when counting out units and organizing them. 100 pieces for $6.49. I used to just jam a pin through the sets which usually resulted in bent bins. Oh the simple things in life make me happy. Someday I'll try using them when I do a binding.
Above is my little pile of sorted dark reds to run through my Accuquilt cutter.
Candy (the cat that's not allowed to be in the house) was quite entertained on my desk behind the sewing machine watching a YouTube video. I searched "videos that kittens like to watch".
Then Candy found the batting that I placed on the shelf for her. She also enjoyed inspecting the crib-sized BitCoin (Bonnie Hunter pattern) and playing with the goofy mechanical toy that I bought at the bin store for $1 for a brief moment before being more entertained with fluffing up the batting.
I'm not finished with Clue Two of the mystery yet. I've been using that as leader/enders. Stay tuned.

Great job keeping up! I am not sure how the quilt is going to look, so I did not start it. The last time I made a mystery quilt, I gave the blocks away because it looked like a mad food processor.
Bonnie’s quilts are always good scrap busters.
