As I suspected, Bonnie Hunter released the Final Solution for the Old Town Mystery this morning. I had already set aside most of the day to work on the project. Everything was neatly organized and ready to go.
I first laid out the various pieces to check my colors before I began assembly and I was pleased with what I saw so I began to sew as I would normally do, row-by-row. Not the best plan. After about an hour of this and that, I finally decided to look at Bonnie's instructions to make the corner units. Ah-ha! All the corner units are identical! Just rotated in the block. So instead of rows I went to unit construction. Much better.
Apparently I didn't follow all of Bonnie's instructions about pressing as I had a devil of a time getting corners to meet and points to be pointy. LOTS of seams, lots of lumps. The jury is still out.
I saw she had posted that today and saved them - still out on if I will make it I have so many others
