Here's Clue 3! Not enough, if course, but a start. On to Clue 4. I got a GO! Cutter for Christmas and the cutting is so much fun!! These are 2 - 2 1/2" squares sewn together. The cool part of the cutter is that I cut strips of each color, then sewed the strips together, then turned the units sideways in the cutter and sliced the strips into sets!!! I might just have to spend 2011 just cutting, it's SO much fun!!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Okay, did a few of Clue 2 of Ann Smith's New Year's Eve Mystery Quilt. These are 4 1/2" blocks with a 2 1/2" blocks sewn to a corner. So, here's eight and I need to do 96, so I'm just going to move on to Clue 3!!! The suspense is killing me. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Well, I played tennis this morning so I missed all the clues because I'm hours behind. This is a mystery quilt Ann Smith hosts on various Yahoo groups. These are six of Clue 1! I'm doing the lap size so I need 90 more!!! Okay, in an effort to "catch up" I'm going to skip, for now, to Clue 2!! At some point, I'm going to have to go back and really catch up!

I got a GO! Accuquilt fabric cutter for Christmas and it's still sitting unused except for a few 2 1/2" strips. I'm scared to cut fabric because it seems easier to just follow the quilt pattern for cutting. I'll have to figure out which die to use to get the desired cut. I'm going to force myself to figure it out and use this marvelous gift!!! I've added a tab for the upcoming 2011 quilts that I'm sure I'll be buying. I need to look again at all my quilts and see where I stand. I thought about making BOMs/BOWs of all of them, too much pressure?  I wonder if I'd get so confused if I did a block a day for a month with a different quilt each day. Something to think about, no???

Here's my practice mug rug for my tennis team. The satin stitch seemed to make ripples, any ideas why??? Off to figure out how to quilt on my Designer SE!!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
