Allietare - Final Clue

I didn't say "reveal" in the title since it's not fully together yet. But I'm close so I'm linked up at Bonnie's blog!  Thanks for stopping by!

While sewing sections with points, I found it helpful to put the section with the point on the top so it was easy to see and not sew over its tip.

Using the edge guide helps a lot as well!

Oh, the first block had to go on the design wall! Anticipation!

After many hours of sewing, here they are! 4 corner triangles, 18 set-ins triangles, 20 pisa blocks, and 30 star blocks! Love them!!!!

Here's a sneak peek!

Tomorrow, I'll be pressing the blocks and I plan to have them all sewn together and bordered by the end of the weekend. What a wonderful mystery! I hope you make one, too! If you need some sewing tips, check out my Featherweight Skill Series.

Allietare Mystery, Clue 3

Things are moving along with Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Allietare and I've linked up at her blog. Check out the participants and join in the fun!

I was a bit busy this weekend! Had lots of Christmas stuff happening. 

The puppies even did some posing for the camera in front of the puppy Christmas tree.

But eventually, I got to the mystery's cutting, sewing, pressing and trimming!

Lovin' the progress!

Woo hoo! Done!

Now I can get back to more of my holiday projects. 

How's your mystery coming along? Are you doing any sewing for the holidays?

Allietare Mystery - Clue 2

I'm linking up in week two in the Allietare Mystery by Bonnie Hunter. See the project unfold at her blog. Clue 1 went very well so I'm on schedule!

Everyone does things differently when it comes to projects like this. I found I am better at breaking steps down into little chunks and spreading them out a bit. Here's how I handled clue two.

Friday:

Downloaded and read the clue so I had an idea of what we would be making. 

Went through my stash for the colors I wanted to use. I really want to bust my fabric stash and not buy new yardage. So far, so good!

Decided on these fabrics. Set up the "tools of the trade" as well.
