I haven't had a chance to look at them yet, but over the weekend, I hope I will be able to make a start on them.
November 2013 - Red Berries
November 2013 - Red Berries
Unusually for mid-November, most of the trees still have their autumn colours, and we have had a few unexpected sunny days where they have looked really beautiful against the blue sky.  The bushes are also thick with red berries. However, we have had our first frost this week, and it looks like we finally have the start of winter here I the UK.

Along with the winter comes Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt.  This is what my fabric stash for the quilt is currently looking like, since I last wrote about it.  Plenty of green, yellow and pink, but struggling on softer / tangerine oranges.  However, over at Sparrow in Flight, there is a Givewaway - FOR INTERNATIONALS ONLY, sponsored by Fluffy Sheep Quilting, where I see they have a great range of orange fabric.

Suzi loved doing the Easy Street Quilt last year and can't believe that there are still two weeks to wait before we can print off the first set of instructions!

  1. Those three finished blocks look great, but I love, love, love the center one! That tiny pinwheel is so cute. I read the post a while back about you redoing some of them. I agreed with the one that you reworked. I hope you don't have to redo many more.

  2. Are you sure it is only Nearly Insane? I would be crazy by now, but I love watching your progress.

  3. Are you using blues in the mystery quilt?

    1. No blue in my Mystery Quilt, I am introducing pink instead.

Bought the pattern and I'm using yours for inspiration...won't follow exactly, but I LOVE yours and your blog. Thanks for posting!!! <3
