Grand-Illusion-Mystery-Quilt-step-4

After holiday baking and grocery shopping today, I managed to get Step 2 completed and on Step 1 I got 62 completed. After Christmas I plan on working completely on this to get caught up.

I love seeing how everyone else is doing, it keeps me excited to get back to mine.

I did get the Stack And Whack quilt completed and quilted and bound.  I also did contact the instructor on the Fractured Quilt and got the info necessary to get started on that as my next project next year.

Mean while I completed the last Mystery Quilt "Celtic Solstice" this summer and have to yet quilt and bind it. Then I attended a workshop by Bonnie Hunter and made a quilt from men's recycled shirts called Tumalo Trail and I need to get it quilted and bound yet.  So I have been pretty busy this year working on completing quilt tops.
My guild also has me working on a group project called "double wedding ring" quilt in addition to the other projects and I hope to get it completed this winter.
All these quilts will be given as gifts to my children and grandchildren as keepsakes and I will need 17 total.

The Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt

I actually got about 125 half square triangles cut out using the Easy Angle ruler and got a few of them sewed.
I am working on some Christmas projects and have to complete those before I can do very much on this new mystery.
