Quilting New Year's Resolutions for 2015???

[Catherine S.]

Geneva and Beverly I love both of your quilts. How nice to have finished a project already. I think I am jealous.
Carole, your quilt is so colorful. I love it. I wish I had heard about the mystery quilt earlier. I have been wanting to do one. I will have to keep watching and find one to do. From my stash of course. I am not buying any fabric unless it is to finish a project I have already started.

Bonnie Hunter starts a new mystery at Quiltville.com every year the day after Thanksgiving. She also has a lot of free patterns at that same site, all of which are great for using up scraps! This year's mystery is EXTREMELY colorful, to say the least. Here's what my top looks like spread out, and on a bed. I've made a couple of sets of pillowcases to use with it.







I ended up adding a final border from the bird fabric to help pull all the colors together.

Beverly, your class project is terrific. Nice, nice work. Pretty colors.

Carole, your BH Mystery Quilt/ Grand illusion looks wonderful on your bed. I finally got all the patches sewn together. I have 2 blocks done. Seeing your quilt is inspiration I need. I was so busy with Christmas stuff I got very much behind. Love looking at your quilt.

Lois, now that I've seen Bev's quilt, I can't wait to see yours! Had to figure out what BH meant. ok - Bonnie Hunter. lol

Beautiful finish, Beverly! I love it!!

Your quilt is looking great, Carole. I just finished sewing the units together into blocks, so still have a ways to go on mine.

[Beverly C.]

Hello!
I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you!
I've been trying to post close ups of my quilt as some of you asked for them. But I am not able to post any pictures.

I am off on a dog sled adventure so will be gone for a few days. When I get back I'll try to figure out why all of a sudden I can't post any pictures!

Take care,

Geneva

Sounds fun, enjoy your adventure. I look forward to seeing your makes when you are back and your glitches will banish themselves.

[wendy w.]

Dog sled adventure - sure sounds like fun! Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous work Geneva, Carole and Beverly! I feel like I'm lagging behind terribly and it's only the 12th. I got all my fabric washed and ironed for the 2015 BOM this weekend and that's pretty much it. (See, if you set your goals low enough sometimes they can be achieved!) Actually, I'm pretty encouraged. I started last year's BOM around June and I was shocked to find out that it is really hard to get caught up when you start so late!

Now then Charae it's only the beginning of January we're not behind yet.
