Omygosh.

When the nine patch blocks for the RSC21 colour challenge was made, this was the basket with the strips of fabric. The alternating blocks between the nine patch blocks are churn dash blocks.  
They have scrappy four patch blocks,  turned on point. Some are done and others still need to be done. In total 80 blocks have those four patch blocks.  Still need to sew a 119 four patch blocks?
Will continue to piece them for the rest of year.
Part one of Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt along is sewn, will trim the dog ears this week.
Part two is cut and awaiting sewing.
Part three is cut out and ready. Lots of cutting got done this past week. The King size quilt took two days to arrive via shipping and our eldest son and his wife,  will be opening it on a video call on Christmas day( we want to see their response, they gave three choices 8f patterns originally).  With all covid,  they do not feel comfortable travelling by plane. So it will be a quiet one for us, hence a new start. From afar, every year I have watched the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt alongs. This year all those fabrics just clicked and it was time.
The snow just started, we are expecting about 5-10cm of snow today. It is a whole day event, perfect for escaping into my sewing room, to sew...
Happy Birthday to Craigh!
