I was very surprised to discover this morning that the mystery was a mystery no more! Bonnie released the final step last night, but I'd been up for over an hour this morning before I received an email in which the writer casually mentioned she loved the final design.
The rest of the day was spent making a bunch of new units for the final step:
After consultation with a friend who is also doing the mystery, I know how many extra units of the previous clues I will need to make to complete a 3x3 grid of the blocks. I have a couple of the blocks and the sashing pieces pinned to the design wall, but I won't post the photo until they are sewn together. I think they will look good, but not everyone is convinced. I was asked if they actually made a pattern? I sure hope so after all this!
Is that one of your rescued plants? If so it is repaying your kindness in spades. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by Bonnie's reveal too...although apparently she always reveals it on the 1st. And your ironing board cover is so wonderful that if I were you I probably would have taken some snips out of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely bromeliad--I never see any of those beautiful plants in my neck of the woods. Those colors are such a treat...I must say --you are brave doing a mystery quilt ;000 although I most often stray from a pattern, I like to see ahead of time what I'm aiming for..just sayin'--I give all of you gals credit--you must have great 1/4" sewing skills and piecing skills. I am looking forward to seeing yours put together...hugs Julierose
ReplyDeleteI like Bonnies pattern. After all the work that goes into them I'm glad I like it..
ReplyDeleteThe end is in sight, the yellow fabric adds a real zing to the blocks.
