My mystery project enters day 2. I had forgotten how great a 9-patch can look! ( And how much variation there can be in white-on-white)
If you haven't checked in for a while, or you are here because of WIPs on Wed at Esther or Lee's blogs...on Monday, I started cutting fabric for a new project and issued a challenge. Each guess posted on the previous or this post that identifies what the final project will be, counts toward a very cool prize. In case you are too lazy/overwhelmed/busy to check the previous post, the basic rules are: a gift certificate to my local quilt shop (who ships internationally) will be awarded to a contestant who guesses what it is that I am going to make. One entry per guess, with extra credit (guesses) for being right, or ridiculously wrong in a way that makes me snort coffee out my nose when I read your entry. Contest ends whenever I get this thing done (could be tomorrow...could be next month).
And I don't want to make light of serious addiction...but when I ran out of spray starch while pressing these blocks...I was in a serious panic. Until I remembered that I had a secret stash of dollar store spray starch. Oh yea, that's pathetic (but a huge relief).
My other project that I'm working on is my revised Heart's Desire...which I tend to refer to as Heart's Whim or that @#$% Heart quilt that I broke up with. Follow the link for details...but this is my medium-tech version of showing what I think it may look like (when I get another 30 hours of applique done). Planning to add more leave and vines around the outside. Will keep you posted.

OK I have to have a guess... it was the snorting coffee bit that roped me in.
Techno challenged however, so here's a straight guess...
Suduko puzzle?
Morse code?
A terradactyle telling us to eat our greens????
Sorry thats three guesses and I am probably disqualified. Boo Hoo.
Oh my gosh... you crack me up! I love the pink quilt anyway!! I have no idea what you are making, but the colors are beautiful. :)
Nope, still got no idea!!
Love your HD quilt. So very different. Great colours.
Well it sounds like you are having fun what ever you are making????????? Plus an interesting finish to Hearts Desire coming up too!!!!! Cheers Glenda
Okay, 2nd day, 2nd guess... It's going to be a pad for one of those Wii games - the dancing one where you hop around copying your cartoon character on the TV screen!
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
You're so funny!
I like it that you have a secret stash of starch. The applique will look fantastic when its done.
I bought a can of spray starch on someone's recommendation but never use it! It sprays everywhere and leaves a slick on the carpet which gathers even more dirt!
Duh I even commented here. My mind is going or I just forgot LOL it is just amazing and I do love your work, and your hand quilting is a work of art.
Hugs
