On Ringo Lake: After the Reveal

I really enjoy Bonnie Hunter's mysteries from the day after Thanksgiving until the reveal on New Year's Day.  After the reveal, the quilt feels like work.  So many clues so quickly, and it is hard to keep up.  I know it isn't a race, but after the reveal, I feel like I lose the connection to all the quilters working on the mystery, and it becomes a solo activity which isn't as much fun to me. 

So I've been WORKING on On Ringo Lake this week, not enjoying the process.  Here are my completed blocks:

I've also started putting the blocks together with sashing.  The quilt is set on point, but I am less likely to turn the sashing strips the wrong way if I set it on the straight right now.

With my bad attitude, it might be better for me to put On Ringo Lake away for a while! Luckily, Charlotte Hawke's mystery starts the 10th, so I'll get my fix of group sewing.
