Quiltville Mystery Season: Indigo Way Part 6 and 7 Days of New Years - Day 4

This week the quilters going the "Indigo Way" are treated to more of Bonnie's Vietnam trip in Part Six.  Have you ever heard of "water puppetry" or wondered about Vietnamese cuisine?  If so, you'll love this week's post as Bonnie gives a first hand view of both.  If you've ever considered traveling with Bonnie, you also get a good look at the accommodations a trip with her will provide.  

Quilt construction wise: you are once again making "triangles in a square" (also called Tri-Recs or Peaky and Spike) like you did in Part 2.  However, this time they are with Red centers and Light Blue sides.  As Bonnie notes, if in this period of the holiday season you are still busy with family and friends get-togethers, just download the instructions now so you can pick up the work when you are able.   

Well it's appropriate to check in with the mystery season today since I published the final report of one mystery and am continuing with my progress on another:  quilting my "Old Tobacco Road" mystery quilt.  I started the outline stitching of the columns of bars:

I have all of the full bar columns stitched but still need to do the half columns on the sides.  Once that's done it will be on to do the "leaf" pattern in the pieced columns in between.  

I had hoped to get to that today but the phone lines have been really busy today so lots of distractions.  Not to mention I lost half the day to working on the "finish blog post" and checking out what others have posted.  So reminding myself again that it's okay if I don't get this done before New Year's and that it's well on it's way to a mystery season finish!

Once again breaking for dinner and then onto cross stitch and then onto Day 5 tomorrow!
