I was up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Â It was after midnight so I’ll confess…I hoped over to Quiltville to see if Bonnie Hunter had the first mystery clue up. Â She didn’t. Â Back to sleep for me.
I have the day off today but sadly, I accidentaly set my alarm for 5:30 so when it went off I laid there a minute thinking I’d go back to sleep but then my mind started processing the day. Â IT’S MYSTERY DAY!! Â What am I doing in bed. Â So off I went and yes, the mystery was posted.
I was ready to cut fabric…My neutral bin needed some help and I needed neutrals so it’s time to accomplish a couple tasks at once.
If it was small I pulled it. Â I have no idea why these top pieces haven’t been pulled and sliced up a long time ago. Â Typically I don’t keep anything smaller than a fat quarter. Â They got chopped. Â Anything dated got chopped. Â Anything that I could sneak in a use up that wasn’t my favorite and could hide in a scrappy quilt got chopped.
I’m just getting started. Â I have one pile for me…one for Kelli and one for the scrap bin. Â My 2″ bucket is REALLY empty. Â I’ve made so many quilts from the bucket lately but haven’t been restocking. Â It’s time. Â I’ve found that 2″ strips are the ones I use the most.
I’m off to keep cutting. Â I have lots more to chop up yet. Â It’s going to feel good to have a couple tasks accomplished all at the same time.
Are you mysterying? Â I’d hate to miss it!
Yes, I will be mysterying – clue printed and ready to go!
Woke up at 7 and saw the clue now to have time to do-working today but off Sunday!
I need another start like a hole in the head, but I am off and running!
I was up at 340am and had to leave the house before the clue came out. Working a long day at the hospital so not sure how much I can get done when I get home. At least I spent the time ironing all the fabrics before I left for work.
Where do I go to get signed up for the mystery?

No, I’m not sewing this one. But I will follow its progress with great interest. I just can’t start a new project right now. And it’s very rare that I say that!
