I am wife to Russ, mother to Sandy, Jim, Melissa, Doug and Jesseca, grandmother to 11 wonderful grandchildren which includes 1 super grandson. I love to quilt, read and spend time with my grandkids. Our family comes first in all things, of course our pets are family. We have 2 dogs, Molly, 11 yr, a rescue Beagle; and George Henry a terrier/beagle mix...found wandering the streets.
Well, I finally finished my 100 rail fence blocks for Bonnie's Mystery Quilt. Sure took me long enough! Also finished cutting the 3 1/2 inch blocks. I've just started on the 100 9 patch blocks.
I love your fabric choice, it took me about 2 seconds to think about what fabric I was going to use.. the biggest stash in the house is 30's so off I went, picking 2 colours to add to the white was the hardest thing, but I love your fabric!
Oooooh - these are so pretty!! I'm constantly amazed at all the wonderfully different colour/materials combos people are using for this mystery. So fun to watch them coming together. Congrats on your progress so far :)
