Well if you didn’t see my earlier blog post, the news is..I caved to the mystery pressure. Â I originally thought I might go with Bonnie’s colors but then ended up going with Civil War Reproductions (mostly) instead…so far, I’m glad I did.
Clue one isn’t finished. Â I am far enough along that I can see I’ll be done by the time the next clue comes out. Â There are 46 blocks in the stack. Â The other blocks are half finished and my extra half square triangles just need to be ironed.
That shouldn’t take long…just time.
I really don’t want to fall behind if I can help it as I know life is just going to get crazier and crazier here as we continue with the remodel and then hopefully move.
Every day I pack a box or or sort and toss stuff…that’s taking up quite a lot of time but I also managed to get this gem to the quilting machine!
All you with eagle eyes…yes, I know that a few blocks are twisted and I know my block is different than the original pattern. Â I don’t care!! Â At this point, done is done.
I am scrambling hoping to get this all finished for Wednesday when I host the “Bonnie UFO Challenge”.  If you don’t  know or haven’t heard about it, each fall in October I host a challenge to finish up a Bonnie Hunter pattern that has fallen into UFO status before the new mystery comes out.  Stop back on Wednesday to see how everyone has done.
Today I am hooking up with Quiltville and with Patchwork Times.
Moving during the Mystery puts a bit of a kink in the Stitching plans. I love your Celtic Solstice on the frame! I have a lot of Mystery Clue 1 blocks to get made before mext week. What pattern will you quilt on your 2013 Mystery?
looks great! I (accidentally) switched a few of my CS blocks, too, but you’re right: it doesn’t really matter! I’m almost done with clue #1 as well.
Love your colour choices! Can’t wait to watch your progress!
Most of us knew you would be doing this quilt along with us. :)
Love your color choices.
CS looks fabulous….can’t wait to see it off the frame.
I love your CS. You do a fantastic job on all your quilts, any critiques should be kept to one’s self. Thanks for sharing all you do in your busy life:)
I still haven’t figured out what you did different, even after studying your blocks for weeks now. It is such a busy pattern that any errors get overwhelmed. It is a wonder that you have found any time for sewing with the house remodel. So glad you are along for the mystery.
Yes, done is done! Your CS is gorgeous and I am so glad you caved on this one and cannot wait to see it in civil war fabrics!
Love your fabric choices. I am using 1800’s reproduction prints too in mine and also did for my Celtic Solstice quilt. I changed my colors up a bit too. I like your Celtic Solstice quilt. Have a great day! Glad you joined in, I enjoy your blog.

Looks great to me! I love your quilts. Looking forward to seeing how you use the civil war fabrics in this quilt.
Take care.

I would not have known you mixed any blocks up if you didn’t say you did, it looks wonderful! I have not done a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt yet, but I am very tempted. Everybody is doing it, it seems! To make you feel better, google ‘celtic solstice’ and there are a lot of quilts with mistakes I guess – since so many have different variations of layout, expecially with that pinwheel block – most are like your block, some have the chevrons pointed the other direction and some have some of each. They all look great though! :)
