Update

I thought I would do a quick update since I am going to gone all day Friday quilting with Sue Patten (and a trunk show in the evening).
 Saturday I have an all day gardening expo to attend. I have to admit I'm really feeling the Spring Fever now that the lake opened up !
Part 7 of the Thimble Creek Mystery

I gave up on the traditional piecing for my square in a square units.
 I'm half way through paper piecing them for my Devil's Claw quilt.
A painful decision, but totally necessary!
 And I'm a few more wool hexies closer to the end:
Holly and Swirl

Wreath

Christmas Tree

Mistletoe

Poinsettia
Have a great weekend!!

  1. Those mystery blocks would make a great quilt all by themselves.
    My favorite of the little hexie ornaments is the wreath. Very pretty!

  3. I rather like paper piecing, and I know that I can get better results with that method, so it's worth the extra time and effort for me.

  4. I struggle with those square in a square blocks too. One designer suggested using full squares rather than triangles for the corners. I need to try that as paper piecing is not my favorite though they come out great.

    I can see the end is very close with your hexies.
