Very easy and just enough of the same block not to get bored putting them together.  I like it, sort of...my apologies for mess in the lower right hand corner - another unfinished project going on that's just hanging out there at the bottom of my design wall. I've promised myself to work harder to get all these hand appliqued/BOMs finished this year or, at least, work on them.  So, thinking spring is coming...Block #1 of Chick Jubilee is half finished.  This is my Quiltville Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt block that's almost finished.  I'm loving it, but it may be moved to a leaders/enders project, only I'd do a ...

Happy New Year! This is a pic of the Grand Illusion block of Quiltville's mystery quilt that I've been working on.  I've finished a bunch of projects and promise to blog more often in 2015 (can't fault me if I falter!!!).  More soon!
