Not exactly a good time to start a new project since I am rushing to complete Christmas quilty gifts. But, how can I pass this up? Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt is called Easy Street, and since I live in the Big Easy, why not? Plus she promises that this one won't have all of the little pieces of past mysteries. And I love the colors of this one and it is a queen bed-size quilt. I'm working on the 192 four patches of black/white and grey. I will be finished by the time the next clue comes out Friday. I will not get behind on this one! I also like that Bonnie says she likes big quilts and has little use for throw size quilts. As much as I love throwing a quilt over me on the couch, she's right. I have enough of those to last a lifetime. Have you ever noticed that when you give someone a throw size quilt as a gift you can just see them trying to figure out if it will fit their bed? You have to explain to them that this is a throw size quilt to use on the couch, at the end of the bed, etc.
My next 2 weeks are busy trying to get projects completed for our church's mission market December 2 & 9. Making tree skirts, table topper, wall hanging, child-size quilts and quilting an old quilt top that someone donated. Oh, and this is all between work days!
