Clue 1:

Oooh this sounds intriguing. I peeked at these instructions and I really like that once we make a unit, she lets us know what size it should be. And only 2 fabrics ... I might just play along.

Okay, so far this morning, I've found one yard each of a background and foreground fabric, ironed out the fold wrinkles, and got it cut out. Now to sew the first sewing instructions.

Going for a 44" baby quilt. It would also make a small lap quilt.

Instructions #2 haven't been posted yet. Since she is in Seattle and I'm in Maryland, I figure I have a few hours on her, so I'm not too far behind. But I'm always slow in classes so I may not finish in one day.

thank you kay-lin.......

Clue 3 and 4 are up...yeah I decided to play too.

Thanks for the heads up, TCMay.
I've found my seam ripper , found the manual to my new little machine and re-threaded the machine and bobbin the right way , found the manual to my one-year-old printer that I almost never use and figured out why it wasn't printing and now I'm ready to actually sew.

Turtle on the move.

I of course made a wrong cut so had to search for another background fabric and re-cutting those strips now...darn I hate that. also had to change the cartridge on the printer,glad I didn't have to search for the book.

Clues 5 & 6 are up ...too cute

Ooh, I hate it when I have to cut again. I'm just finished sewing Part 1. I'll have to go pick up 5 and 6.

Clue 7 & 8 are up now...I'm behind too...had to go to work for a bit....thats okay I'm thinking I like this so much now that I see where it is going I'm going to make it into a bigger quilt.

Love your fabric Kaylin...I'm using red and white.

Thanks, I'll go print again. I was thinking of red and white, before I settled on the butterflies.

I don't think I'll get past #3 tonight.

If I had not made that awful cut..I would be farther also...sounds like we are about the same speed....at the same spot.

Got a little tangled up with the cutting but I had enough fabric for the correction. I like the way this turned out!

That looks terrific...hope to work on mine again tonight....

Oh, really nice, Quiltcat. Love your Autumn colors.

She posted some pic's on her site ...here is a link

That did turn out really nice.

Lot's of new pictures and comments up on Cindys site...she is so generous to share all her patterns....

I have all my pieces done just need to put it all together maybe tomorrow evening...no sewing tonight.

I love the different colors of the quilts on her website link.

No sewing for me tonight either. I think I'll get it together (I mean get the pieces together ) by the end of the weekend.

I finally have my done or begun ...I think I'm going to use it as the center for a larger quilt.I'll get my graph paper out .

Kay-lin...how is yours coming?

Gee, those both came out really nice. I may have to go back and file that pattern.

Awesome you guys!!!

Wowser, love the quilt tops. Will have to go to Cindy's site and check out the clues.

Thanks, paus4quilts.

Oooh, TC, I love that red and white. It's beautiful. I put mine aside to take an ornament class last weekend - good thing they don't give grades. I'll try to finish up this week when I have some time off.

Kaylin...we always have the best intentions...I think it was the red that kept me going...I do love a two color quilt too...
