OTM Update and Other Things

After a binge of quarter-squares at the end of last week,


I'm happy to report I am now over halfway on all three mystery clues!  I'm running short of my soft oranges so I may have to shop.  Also, I have no plan on what I'll use in place of Bonnie's other red ....

I have a busy week coming up so I'm glad I won't be stressing over the mystery.  I worked on my second Bear Country quilt (formerly known as Shadow of the Bear) over the weekend.  


I threw in the towel on the last shadow block as I didn't have enough of the background fabric to finish it.  So instead of 13 shadow blocks and 12 checkerboards, I'll make one more checkerboard to complete 25 blocks.  I will need to work on the layout to balance the lights and darks, plus I have used a variety of background fabrics so I will attempt to have some logic in my block placement.

But first, it's time to get out the holiday decor!

  2. Bear Country is so, so pretty! We decorated over the weekend, and it was pretty tiring, but we are enjoying it. Have a great week!

  4. Great solution to the bear paw blocks!! Old Town clues have been so easy. Surely this Friday's clue will be more comples.

  5. That is a similar layout to what I'm using for my patchwork hearts quilt - 25 blocks work good for an "every other one" layout. I really like the soft colors you're using for this one, Libby!
