I'm slowly sorting out what's what in the sewing room. The sewing room was minus my presence for more than 9 weeks, so figuring out where I was on what project has been going on in the background. There were a few spare parts piled on one side of my sewing machine.
Those are subunits for the 2021 Bonnie Hunter Rhododendron Mystery quilt. There were a stack of blocks sitting on the cutting table, so those went up on the design wall.
There are enough half square units for 2 more cross blocks and enough hourglass blocks for another block B. Next step was to check if I had a plan to finish this project or not. Opening Electric Quilt (which I wasn't able to do on my old computer), I found my final layout. It needs just two more of the blocks with the yellow cross in the center, but five more of the blocks with the hourglass units. Other subunits need to be cut to assemble the blocks. It would be nice to have this one mostly assembled before Bonnie starts this year's mystery.
Next step is to decide what I'm going to keep on the active list for the rest of the year. It won't be long and it will be time to decide on the strategy for next year.
Linking up with Monday Design Wall and Quilt and Patchwork.
Your Rhododendron Trail blocks are looking great--beautiful color combination! I'm looking forward to seeing what Bonnie has planned for us this year!
ReplyDeleteDecisions, decisions. I hope you get more sewing time over the next few weeks. RT is looking great. And, wow is it time to think about the next mystery? (I tend not to do too many any more.) I might need to emulate you -- decide what to keep working on this year and think of a strategy for next year. (What plan ahead? It might be worth a try!)
ReplyDeletePretty quilt blocks. I'm with you...a weekend without leaving the house is great for re-energizing oneself.
ReplyDeleteRhododrendon trail is a pretty quilt, I look forward to seeing your quilt finished, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking so good - especially because you chose such good colors. I saved the instructions but didn't do this mystery at all. But I'm excited to see what she does with the mystery this year.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a really lovely weekend. I could use with a bit of hermit like staying in myself right now!
ReplyDeleteI like your color substitution in Rhododendron quilt pattern. I look forward to seeing how you finish it.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy Rhododendron blocks! They look fabulous on the design wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up ;)
Isn't it amazing what staying home for a bit can do?!? Like a complete reset! We skipped golf this weekend and got so much of our fall stuff done. It has been weighing on us and now we feel...well, "free"! Your mystery quilt is looking great so far. One of these days I need to join in on hers.
ReplyDeleteWow! this is really coming along and it looks great. When is the mystery solved?
