Whew! It took me until today to get Part 2 all done! Just in time for this week's link-up.
I did pick up the Part 3 instructions but have only just started on what I expect to be a lot of cutting and piecing.
I don't expect to get this part finished by the end of the week since I have to also work on finishing up the other quilt that I'm making for a family member's Christmas gift.
Some interesting observations from the linkups:
* Have you seen some of the gorgeous alternative color ways that people have chosen? I really need to push myself to try that in a future mystery or even in one of Bonnie's regular projects.
* If you've checked out some of the previous link up posts, have you seen the interesting ways people arranged their nine-patch and FG units from Parts 1 and 2? I already like how some of them are put together. Now I can't wait to see Bonnie's final layout -- maybe I'll wind up wanting to try one of the alternate layouts instead?
* So many people are finding this a great opportunity to perfect their piecing techniques or learn new ones. Bonnie's instructions for the mystery totally support this. Just another reason why she is as popular as a teacher and for her workshops as she is as a designer!
Oh and another goodie has come in to add to the fun of this mystery:
I finally got a copy of Bonnie's latest book! I've been waiting to get this one for a while and cannot think of a better time to surround myself with all things Bonnie! It'll be fun to read through this one after a day of mystery parts stitching.
