Done in the nick of time.


Wow clue # 3 of Bonnie Hunter's "On Ringo Lake" mystery was a big one!  I got done just in the nick of time to start a new clue tomorrow.  There were some questioning looks from my co-workers as I drew lines during breaks between patients and later in the week cut down blocks in preparation for pressing. The last of the blocks were finished being pressed just in time for bed tonight.

For this year's mystery I have gone a little more wild than usual with my background fabrics, but I think it will look fine in the end.  I have so far managed to pull all of the background fabrics and quite a few other block parts and precut strips from my precut drawers.  Not only is it nice to be able to use up things have been sitting around for awhile, it has saved me a ton of time on cutting the steps.  

I'm posting this in Bonnie Hunters Mystery Monday Link-up for Clue #3.  You can find that post here.  Be sure to go check out all of the other On Ringo Lake quilts that are being made!
