Designer Mystery BOM for 2012 quilt top

It sure has taken be a long time to put this one together.  I'm not loving all the light of the border, but I did try and follow the suggested finishing idea, with my leftover scraps.  For the border I had to dig into my Kona bone.  It will be pretty quilted and I love the soft colors.

Next to work on is the Yahoo military mystery, plus get ready for Bonnie's mystery!

Weekend Progress

I am putting together the top from the Designer BOM.  I am desperately trying to use all the leftover pieces to do the sashing and borders.  Getting to be a challenge as I am down to the first and second border.  Somehow I'll make it!

October finishes

I finished this placemat/table runner set, which was a Quiltaholics mystery several years ago.

here's the back of the placemats... and the camera strap!

here's the back of the runner

Then I \made another quilt for Quilts for Kids and sent it plus 2 others I made to QFK.  This is placed on top on a quilt on my bed, I couldn't get it out of the picture.  I took a picture of the other 2 here http://berylthepearl.blogspot.com/2013/10/finish-it-up-friday.html

Slowly getting the back log cleared in preparation for new mysteries and other starts!

Getting ready for Bonnie's mystery!

Halloween time

a fun little project!

Thursday finish

This one is finally finished and in use!  it is heavy and big....

and now to figure out a setting for these squares...

I've seen some put them together with flying geese sashing, which is cute.  Maybe I'll do that using the leftover scraps..

Where does the time go - Wednesday!

I am getting ready to put on the binding on the purple suffragette quilt, when Joy is done napping.  We are enjoying it as is!

I did finish a little cat mat, this design I wanted to try but found it more difficult than I hoped, so turned it into a sleeping mat for a cat.  Pepper likes to lie in the morning sun...
