Grand Illusion - rows and sashing sewn together

not very interesting to see the same thing week after week!  I'll be glad to be finished with this top, it needs a couple borders and then I can put it on a pile.  The next project is to finish Judy's sew along, Tell it to the Stars.  Then what?  several quilts to quilt of course, but always love a new project...

 the instructions call for a yellow border next but how about a black border...

more Grand Illusion

I sewed the 25 big blocks, they are nice because they can be turned if desired, and don't have to go just one way.  My aqua cornerstones I am undecided about, the ones in the picture are from scraps of an aqua sheet I had, although I have a lighter shade in my Kona.  But I like the darker (sheet) one! 

putting it all together

The Grand Illusion mystery is finally taking shape.  The pieces to go together nicely, but the colors seem real strange...too soon to tell how I will like it.

Grand Illusion mystery clues

all caught up on the Grand Illusion mystery with these units.  Can't imagine how they will go together!

Progress on Quiltville mystery, Grand Illusion

I've made 30 units, they are easy altho a little boring, should easily complete the 120 by next Friday!  Trying to keep the grass green color mostly...

Working on the Grand Illusion mystery

I have made 57 of the 100 required blocks, might not finish before the next clue on Friday!

UPDATE:  I just finished block #100 Thursday evening. Yes!

Friday finish

The Little Letter baby quilt top is ready for quilting.  not very exciting, but was fun to make!
