I have 32 9-patches done … only 81 more to go …
To me, it seems like super SLOW process on Quilt #13, but I did make a demo craft for our December guild meeting and made the project for our secret Santa gifts. I wanted to get these done as I will be out of town for the week prior to the meeting. This is the 2nd year that I’ve done the secret Santa. We hand in a baggie with the equivalent of 2 fat quarters and we receive someone else’s fabric back. Then we’re challenged to make something with the fabric! I’d love to show you what I made, but then it wouldn’t be a secret, would it?
Surprise surprise, I bit the bullet … as usual … and have started the Bonnie Hunter mystery “En Provence.” I need a ton of neutral 4 patches … I have 3 done and a bunch of ‘twosies” to sew into 4 patches … then I’ll start cutting into my neutral yardage until I have enough completed!
To see what others in the quilty world are working on wander over to these blogs:
Happy Quilting!

Lots of lovely prints in your 2 to become 4 patches. Love the 9 patches too!

Thanks … I tend to tone it down and often will use the wrong side of many neutrals …

Haha! Wondered if you were doing MQ. I am not. Need to finish two other BH quilts in progress.

Ha! Ha! That’s not an excuse! And Leslee, what makes you think I have finished all my BH quilts? Smith Mountain, Floribunda are 2 that come to mind that are sitting here, unfinished!

I haven’t bitten the bullet yet, but think I will work on En Provence. I might use white fabric with colored dots as I did for the Scrapitude mystery quilt. We’ll see.

That will work. But Bonnie did say that those using one fabric should consider using 2 … I suspect it may enhance the quilt … we can only wait & see!
