Lupine clue 5 and Working on two quilts

 I don’t remember why I thought this was a good idea!  But so far it’s working out, minus my mistakes😀. I got just one set of the Lupine mystery part 4 half rectangles squared up. I think it’s going to take a long time to get these trimmed!  I did buy the special ruler and it is great help  I realized I’ve never done this kind of half recs 

And it was fun to see clue 5 starting 

As for the magnificent mystery I’m still working on the September clue, squaring up hourglass squares. I’ll get there, eventually. I always hope once I get the hang of it I can power on through 

Red lipstick

 I learned something new tonight. While watching a delightful movie starring Michael Caine about the 50th anniversary of D-Day, I wondered why all the women wore red lipstick.  And thinking of other movies about WW2 and how women wore red lipstick.  So I searched and found out it was practically mandatory, to show patriotism etc. Elizabeth Arden was tasked with developing a bright red shade. I think my mother always wore red lipstick….

Redoing and fixing mistakes on majestic mystery and clue 4 lupine mystery

 I hope it isn’t always going to be like this!  Here are redone squares for the majestic mystery:

And here are the redone clue 4 of the Lupine mystery  I got so confused with these half rectangles!  Waiting for the (expensive) ruler to square up  I hated buying the ruler but felt it was so necessary in my case!  So I won’t be caught up before the next clue…that’s okay 

Going to start over on Majestic mystery

 After considering what I really want, I will start over after my error. So today I cut all pieces needed and will carefully begin again!  I’m excited for I really wanted the black background, to go with another dark background quilt.  So problem solved. 

I made a big mistake…how to proceed

 In looking over the magnificent mystery at Meadow Mist Designs, I just realized I’ve used the wrong colors. Good grief how can I be so stupid.  Here is what the pattern required and I’m using the bottom row, with the black background.   I’ve made A as my background with of course not enough fabric and way too much black..  I don’t know what to do I could just keep going and I have some other cream fabric I could use. I guess the other colors would play together but I really wanted a black background!!  And I spend a lot on this fabric….oh well it’s just a quilt…

Lupine mystery clue 3

 Almost done with these, will be ready for the next clue.  I’m thinking I need to recount these!  We need some BLUE!
