It's A Mystery

I've been working on two mysteries this week.  Summer Stars on Fawn Lake (SSFL) started the tenth.  I had a difficult time working though the clues, and I'm not really sure why.  My prefered quilting instructions show pictures of blocks with dimensions (ala Bonnie Hunter).  This time the instructions were a lot of words with descriptions of the units, and I spent a lot of time figuring out exactly what to sew together.  Eventually, with the help of someone who posted their blocks online, I figured out what in the world I was supposed to make.  But by then I had made 7 extra blocks that may have to be taken apart.  I'll worry about the unsewing next month!


I have also been working on On Ringo Lake.  I am afraid to take it off my design wall because it would be so easy to mix up the direction of the sashing.  In fact, I found an error 2 days ago that I have decided to leave in.  I want this quilt done!!!!


It is snowing here now, and I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon sewing.

Oh I am so loving On Ringo Lake.

I agree. I want pictures (visual learner here) and I want the size the unit is supposed to be at each step, to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

It's sad that the mystery writer doesn't realize that it is much more fun to make blocks only one time - the right way and not have to guess about them. Hope you get On Ringo Lake done soon. I know how you feel about "getting it done".
