Happy New Year's Eve -- Clue 7 Complete -- Old Town Mystery by Bonnie Hunter

 I'm excited I finished clue #7 this morning after my 5:30am aqua fitness class.  Just in time for clue #8.


Clue #7 went quickly for me.  The neutrals were already cut because they are part of my scrap-saver system.  It's amazing to me how giddy I get when I realize that there is a teeny tiny piece of fabric only ONCE in the whole quilt.  That is the case in the majority of these blocks.  Thank you, Accuquilt!  So far all units cut were either cut with an Accuquilt die or the combo of cross cutting with two Accuquilt dies.

This mystery is called Old Town by Bonnie Hunter.  You may find all of the sizes of the pieces and quantities of the units on her blog while it is still live.  Check out Quiltville's Quips & Snips.

I will be working on clue #8 after I do my traditional New Year's Eve cleaning of the chicken coop -- LOL.  I know... I live a very exciting life.  It's supposed to rain here in about an hour.  Then snow later today.  Should be good sewing weather.  

I also plan to do some re-organizing of the sewing/desk area.  That should be interresting.  I'm not sure if I will be able to post the before/after pics or not.  I should be embarassed of the mess.  But I do know where most things are.  I just feel I would be more productive if it was better organized and I didn't live with the fear of books, Accuquilt dies, and other things following off the shelves above my head.

Happy New Year's Eve!  Almost time to get the pork and sauerkraut in the crockpot!

The clue 7 units are cute and impressive but the 5:30 am aqua class is very impressive!
