I worked on Bonnie Hunter's latest mystery called "Christmas Lights." Mine is not going to be for Xmas and I changed up the colors/fabrics somewhat. Instead of doing scrappy darks in the four-patches, I did scrappy blues,
(I also ran out of green so added another one for these blocks)and instead of one red for the other blocks, I scrapped those up too.
I didn't want to buy any fabrics for the quilt hence the scrappiness. The next clue isn't until the October issue of Quiltmaker magazine so I'm all caught up until then.
This weekend sure went by fast! I am dreading the ATL traffic-hell tomorrow with all the kids going back to school. It's so nice in the summer when there is only about half-a-hell worth of traffic out there.

love the blocks...they are so pretty.
I am feeling you on getting rid of the heat!
Love your not Christmas Lights. I know what you mean about the weekend and I too dread tomorrow and all the buses and parents who dirve their little darlings to school. I didn't find Jimmy Hoffa in the sewing room but I did manage to find the floor! It is a tad bit better in there now!
We are going to be coming through ATL tomorrow, night. We will be on our way to MD but I have planned the trip so we will be going through ATL during the quarter-hell night hours. LOL
It finally arrived!! We're having your weather today and the rest of this week! :-)) I'm loving every second of it, even though it's so humid and hot one practically needs gills to breathe!
Your blocks are definitely giving off a Christmas feel!
LOVE your blocks they are adorable!!
Oh this should be fun! Bonnie's mysteries are so interesting. And good for digging into the stash.
I love how it's looking so far
Love and hugs Gina xxx

Oh Gretchen I LOVE your blocks!!!!!!
The scrappiness is my favorite.
I really like your scrappy blues! It's not much cooler in TN.
I'm sooo glad that I don't have to drive in that early morning Atlanta traffic any more. I hated those blinking school buses! Sometimes they would give me a headache on my way to school. I think that is the best thing about being a retired school teacher!
Beautiful blocks for your mystery quilt!
Makes me wish I had played along!
Your blocks look great!!!! I just got the magazine. Hope to work on this project soon. Thanks for showing your blocks!
