No more...
... horsing around, on my part. There is hand quilting to be done. A ton... a lot... of hand quilting. I ask myself what was I thinking. I added way more quilting than necessary.
I want to have this finished for a fast approaching holiday. Wish me luck!

Beginning a mystery
There is nothing quite like a good mystery, in my opinion. Whether it be a good book or the latest quilt mystery from Bonnie Hunter . They both keep you full of suspense and anticipation, wondering, and trying to figure it out.
The first clue was her fabric choices. I knew I couldn't exactly match up her color choices. I needed to work from fabric that I already have. So I pulled all my pieces together. This is where I started second guessing myself. What if the butler did it, or my fabric choices didn't turn out right? AHHH!
I pushed past the nerves and started the first part. I guess that's the whole point of a mystery. You just don't know how things will turn out. Maybe you just have to have faith it will turn out. After all it's just fabric!
At this point, I am quite happy with my progress. I have all 194 patches done with out a tear drop. Now I can't wait until Friday to see the next clue/step.
