NOW Step 4 of Easy Street is complete

I totally forgot to sew the flying geese units together in Step 4 of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Easy Street.  Now I'm all caught up, thanks to Ann Marie at 16 Muddy Feet.  This is just one of the reasons why I just love quiltalongs and mystery quilts!  Not only do they keep me on track, others are quilting along. 

In the background neatly stacked are the blocks on which I am working on the Scrappy Christmas QA.  ...yes, I'm addicted to quilt alongs...

Easy Street - Step 4 Complete

Keeping right up with the pack, Step 4 of Easy Street is complete.  As promissed, Bonnie has made this mystery quilt easier than the last.  Here's 64 flying geese that measure 2" high x 3.5" wide.  The colors are much better than this picture.

 

I even had time to cut the 145 greens that are 3.5"!  I'm hoping that they stay in the square shape and that we don't have to make half square triangles out of them (since they end in .5 instead of 7/8")  I think they are going to be attached to the flying geese somehow.

 

 

 

I can't imagine waking up today and not being able to hug my child.

 

Four More -- Block Lotto

Here's the last four blocks for the December Block Lotto for a total of nine blocks.  Now that these are done I will move on to Easy Street with Bonnie Hunter!

 

For 2013, the Modern BOM with gen X quilters is pretty tempting.  It's only one more block a month.

 

 

Now on to Easy Street flying geese...  Another easy clue!  Yeah.

More for the Block Lotto

Here's the three blocks that I got done today for the Block Lotto.  This block is called Star-Crossed.

I'm going to try to finish my other four blocks for the month for the nine totoal blocks for the Block Lotto before moving on to Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street.  I like this look and want to make sure I get all nine chances to win.

Star-Crossed Block #2

Here's my second block for the December Block Lotto.  It was supposed to be a black star with the orange as the background fabric, but I must have fell asleep at the wheel and made the blocks backwards.  The light strips in the center are different than the other.  This is the end of these fabrics (black and orange).  I plan on making enough blocks (nine).  Most likely the blocks will be mailed to different winners.  I'll definitely be more careful when making other blocks.

December Block Lotto

Here's my first block for the December Block Lotto.  It's called Star-Crossed.  It's a 9" block that has a light, medium, and dark value.  I have yet to figure out how to make my camera do the black and white thing.  I'm sure it's on there somewhere.  I will play with the camera more tomorrow.  Again, another block that I just adore!

Easy Street - Step 3 Complete

I'm still hanging with the group working on Easy Street.  So far this Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt is not as labor intense as Orca Bay.  (Thank you, Bonnie Hunter!)  Here are my 64 blocks for Step 3:

Oh, and good news on the Block Swap Adventure.  A new leader has stepped up for the challenge.  Melissa Byerly will be our new administrator.  Thanks, Melissa!  We will miss Linda dearly.  We thank her for starting and organizing each months blocks.
