More On Ringo Lake progress

I am working intermittently on this quilt!  Some days I love it and other days I do NOT.  I have enough cut out for all 50 squares, although only 25 are made, because I thought I would make two small quilts instead of one big one.  Here is my progress on this:
But now because I have enough of the turquoise fabric, I've decided to just make the one big quilt.  So this means I need to finish the squares and sashing. 
Also working on finishing the Magnolia Mystery, and decided against a 14"border on each side of the center, instead opting to add 3 borders, here is what it will look like when again I work on it!
I do have the Transparency quilt pinned and all ready to quilt, just haven't gotten to it yet.
I seem to be in a bit of a lull at present, instead of sewing watching Netflix and Amazon videos!  But that will change I know...There's a snow storm coming and perhaps that will get me inspired back to the sewing machine!

On Ringo Lake progress

Today I finished all 7 clues and am ready to start putting blocks together! Yah for me!  Whew it was a long process.  I have one block made.  Points chopped off, bad!  There is still a long way to go, but no hurry...

December progress

Here's what has been happening this month... Started Bonnie Hunter's mystery, On Ringo Lake.  First clue was 50 of these units:
the second clue was 200 of these (not sure about that number, but I made them all)
the 3rd clue was 240 of these, I have only made 40
and the 4th clue is 218 of these, I have only made 8
I have cut out the pieces for the 3rd clue, and am doing the same with the 4th clue.  Then when I have time I'll sit and sew them together.  It does get a bit boring, so interspersed with these I work on the Magnolia Mystery, which has us putting together the flowers - here is what it will look like:
and I am up to date with the Fat quarter shop mystery, block a month.  The December block is ready to put together...

This brings me up to date.  I did finish my Calico Disappearing Hourglass and send off -
Always something to work on!  love it..

more November Progress

I have this pretty one, another Disappearing Hourglass, pinned and ready to quilt.  Gotta hurry because it's a Christmas present!
For the Transparency quilt a long, I made mine on-point:
another ongoing project, to use up a jelly roll, is Cartwheels, not much progress lately.

And I have started on Bonnie Hunter's mystery, On Ringo Lake, but I misread the directions for the first clue (not a good way to start!) and will have to recut some squares.  Want to finish that today, as next clue comes tomorrow.  Picture later

What I'm working on in November

We got the colors for Bonnie Hunter's mystery, and I pulled mine from my stash that very day, hopefully don't need to buy ANYTHING!  although I don't have a lot of dark brown, so whatever brown I have will have to do.

Still working on the 3 mystery or quilt a long projects, as well as started 2 new quilts.  I have too many jelly rolls, so looked for a pattern and found one called Cartwheels, using a batik jelly roll.  no picture
Then because I liked the Disappearing Hourglass pattern so much and had a stack of calico fabrics I've been saving, have cut this up and started putting these squares together.  I have six colors, dark blue, light blue, pink, red, green, gray

It would be nice to be finished with these mostly before Bonnie's mystery starts the day after Thanksgiving.  I am loving the Transparency quilt a long, here is one square:
and the Magnolia Mystery:

October Finished

All the quilt tops were quilted by the end of October.  Here are the last two:
Hedge Maze

Children's Library

So now I'm down to 3 mystery or quilt a longs, plus we now have Bonnie's mystery colors, so that mystery will begin the end of November.  Not surprisingly,  I have another half dozen plans for new quilts!  No slowing me down yet...

more updates for October

I have finished two baby quilts, both with flannel backing.   Big Star

and Triangle Trove

yesterday I finished my fishes quilt, Chuckles, baby to child size
 
I have two more pinned and ready for quilting.  Then I'll just have 3 mysteries left, and waiting for the Bonnie Hunter mystery.  I have so many scraps accumulated I think I need to make some string blocks, or some other idea that uses all these scraps!

and one more clue in the Fat Quarter Shop Club quilt a long,
