Slowly Moving Along with the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 23/24

Linking Up with  Quilt Schmilt

Last weeks plans

• Continue quilting the Oh My Stars quilt. Have finished quilting the interior of the quilt, still to do the borders.
• Complete sewing up the Block A’s then move on to the Block B’s if I get that far. I have completed the Block A’s and half the Block B’s. My work with the tri rec rulers was not that good but I guess the way to learn is to try. Would have been better if I had someone beside me, I did do You Tube videos. Could have been my ruler slipped a bit on me. I did the centre of this block in the wrong colour, but as it turns out it was a happy mistake as the Block A’s are rather dark when put into the layout.  Using Anne of Green Gables fabric.
• Make the next Blockhead block. Oh was this fiddly to do. It has nearly cured me of the 61/2 inch blocks, should have been going for the 121/2 but didn’t want a huge quilt. Using Edyta Sitar fabric.!

Plans for the Coming Week

• Finish making the Block B’s, and then the edge blocks, this is a quilt set on point (Bonnie Hunter mystery.)
• Make Blockheads next block.
• Make the BOM by Sherri at A Quilting Life. My fabric arrived – a Coriander fabric Peachy Green I think it is called.
• Quilt the borders of Oh My Stars
• Keep up the temperature quilt, into the third week of January now.
• Box and post away the four NICU quilts.

January 9th The Week Gone and the week to Arrive.

Last weeks plans.

• Finish hand sewing the binding onto the Space NICU quilt.
• Start the temperature quilt. Recording highest temperature of the day – We use Celsius Started – will be fun to watch the temperatures over the months.
• .Make a start on whichever number is called for January, for WIPs. To progress on a project from last year or earlier. #1 was called which is a smallish Oh My Stars pattern from Pat Sloan using Cozy Up fabric. I have pinned it and started quilting. I want to use my circle rulers on this. It’s a challenge to hold the ruler and move the quilt!!
• Make the new Blockheads 5 block when it comes out later in the week. This was designed by Sherri from A Quilting Life. These 61/2 inch blocks are challenging!
• Work on Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt 23/24.All the clues are now out and it’s a matter of putting the units together to make blocks. I am working on Block A’s.

Plans were

• finish quilting the present NICU quilt and bind it. Done
• Pin and Quilt the Space NICU quilt and even maybe bind it.  Hand sewing the binding at present.
• Start on Week 3 Bonnie Hunter #3 clue when it comes out on Saturday – Friday for the USA!  I think we are up to clue 6, and I am up to date. I am doing 3/4 the size and may have to add a unit or two when the full pattern comes out.
• Make a list of things that need to be finished and put them into a month by month plan for 2024. I have made a list of the twelve projects I have been working on and want to progress one per month, I’ve also planned what ones I want to take on in 2024, with of course some additions as I go along.

Last weeks plans.

• Finish quilting the Magnolia quilt and maybe machine sew on the binding to the front ready for hand sewing the back.  I finished the quilting but still need to machine sew on the binding.  
• Make pillowslip #3 and the final one I want to make.. I did make the final one but somehow it just didn’t turn out right. Will need to make another.
• Continue making the Chilhowie – Bonnie Hunter blocks and make a start on the Sewcialites block #8 when it comes out.  I finished up clue #3 and this week it’s #4. As I am making the quilt 3/4 the size of the actual one I have to make 12 sets of 8 half square triangles and 4 quarter square triangles to go with each. 3 sets done.  
• I also made the Sewcialites 2 # 8 block. Was quite challenging to make. I decided to simplify this week and didn’t do the 3 1/2″ version.  Designed by Shereece Nicole and named Interwoven.

I also went to beach with one of my sisters to try to photograph a couple of quilts for my yearly calendar I like to make but… it was extremely windy. So not very successful and we now have had so much wet weather can’t photograph outside yet. Will have to wait.

Edyta Sitar Pattern that I did, Mystery Quilt ’20 I think.

And my Riley Blake Challenge ’22 quilt. Really need to improve on this photo! Although the beach is pleasant!

Week of 20th December.

• make the third and final pillowslip. Has to be done!!
• Continue with Chilhowie clue #4 of Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt.
• Sew binding on Magnolia quilt.

And possibles if works out but could be a bit busier than usual!

• Make next Sewcialites 2 block.
