Mystery Quilt Update

While I am not nearly as far along as many other participants, I did finally manage to finish all of the half chevrons this weekend.  I nearly have all the pieces and parts assembled now.  I did end up having to add a couple of other fat quarters of tan into the mix due to all my cutting blunders early on. Hopefully I will come up with a project for all the mis-cut 2" tan squares somewhere down the line!

I was able to get a couple more blocks together so I could get a look at how it will all come together.  I made four blocks but realized I turned the corners the wrong way on one of them so it will have to be corrected.  It makes a really nice looking block that way too!  I had a lot of trouble getting the chevrons going the right direction just in this little bit I layed out so I now completely understand what people have been posting about it being really challenging to keep everything straight. I really love how the colors turned out.

I spent a little time doing some Slow Sunday Stitching on my clamshells last night.  I am half way through sewing the last rown on this panel - only a couple of clams left to go and then I can move on to the next one. I have been trying to use my "Lap App" when I work on this one. I know that everyone loves them but I am still not sold on it....

Head over to Kathy's blog to see how others spent their first Slow Stitching Sunday of 2018 and to the final Mystery Monday Link-Up on Bonnie's blog to see all the fantastic progress and fabulous variations of On Ringo Lake. There are some incredibly creative quilters in the mix - some of the alternate settings and colors make me want to do this one again!
