dixieqwv Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 No it isn't too late. Go over to her blog and find the steps .... she's only up to Step 2 (I think). http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com/ I'm waiting until it's over .... too much to do and mysteries can be scarey.

quiltnutt Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am going to do it. I haven't pull fabrics yet but I will soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I wish I could but not for me. I really like your fabrics. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh you must share your mystery when it's finished. Looks like it will be very colorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudges Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am doing it, I am using the same Christmas colors as Bonnie, red, green, gold and cream with scrappy reds, greens, and creams and a single gold fabric. It's very exciting, I love her mysteries! Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae50 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm probably going to print off the clues, but will have to actually make the quilt at a later date. I've been working one of her other mystery quilts, "double delight". I just gathered up all the fabrics, finished blocks, pattern instructions, etc. and packed them away for awhile. I need to work on a quilt for one of my granddaughters. After the holidays we will be heading to Western Illinois to visit DD and family. When we get back I need to make a flannel rag quilt for a new granddaughter who is expected the end of March. Then I will need to make a quilt for our niece/god-daughter who is getting married in the summer. Hopefully, I can work on the double delight quilt in between projects.

witha'K'quilting Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 According to Bonnie's blog...she should post Step 3 by tomorrow evening. I can't wait. I am making the quilt as she posts clues. If someone doesn't want me to post the finished quilt when complete...then please tell me...otherwise it might spoil the mystery surprise for you. I am glad that some of us are doing the mystery. I love mysteries. I am hoping to post the one that I designed after the New Year. Things got crazy this past few months. I will let you know when mine is ready!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am just too busy to do it...at least just now. I did print out the first two clues, and hope to remember to print the rest of them so I can piece this at a later date...maybe. If I had the time, I would do this one right now. It sounds like so much fun to do it this way. I hve so many UFOs is is almost overwhelming! So, last year I decided I would really try to quilt up my tops and put together tops using the quilt blocks I have already made, or blocks I received in two of the APQS block exchanges. Speaking of block exchanges, I finished the Christmas quilt from last year, in January or February, so I'll have it for this Christmas. I better get it out of the closet. I'll have to post a picture of it soon. Also, as I'm thinking of block exchanges...where has Teresa, aka ChickenScratch been lately? I hope she is just too busy to write, and that everything is OK in her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have done every single one of Bonnie's mysteries so far....but, this time I'll have to bow out. Have fun, Kristina, I'll be living vicariously thru' you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmiequilts Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Never heard of it! How'd I miss that? Your fabrics are pretty Kristina, can't wait to see the quilt finished! No time for me right now but maybe I can do one of her mysteries in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriVB Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Kristina--wondered if anybody from here was doing this--I am making time to do this for myself. I am using Christmas colors too--and all from my stash--I don't plan on purchasing any more fabric for a while--and trying empty out some of my containers!! I have never done a mystery before--and this is quite fun--anticpating what the final quilt will look like!! Anxiously waiting on the next clue!!

IBQLTN2 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thank you for reminding me of the mystery quilt starting up. I just love Bonnie and her website is so wonderful. I see you can join her yahoogroup and get updates when the clues are posted. How wonderful, thanks Kristina! I hope that I can find time to put one more quilt on the list.

PDS Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I am going to do Bonnie's Mystery as well. Did anyone do the one she had in Quiltmaker mag.?---Christmas Lights (I think). I finished it and it really turned out nice. Rather than 9 inch blocks I made mine 12 inch so it is almost big enough for my Queen. I agree she has great mysteries---although her quilts do have LOTS of pieces They do however always turn out so nice! Patricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WandaGeneQuilts Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm a big fan of Bonnie's (I think I'm on my 8th or 9th of her quilt patterns, including 2 versions of the Carolina Crossroads mystery and one of the Old Tobacco Roads mystery). But I never seem to start on a mystery while it's STILL mysterious! I plan to make it, but have to finish a few other projects first. I am following along on the chat and the clues. Have fun!

CWBowser Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have been printing out the directions. I like her mysteries because she gives you a picture of the fabrics she is using so you can get out the same colors if you like her colors. She is great with directions. Hopefully I will have time over the Christmas week to try to put it together. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBQLTN2 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 part three is up and ready. two per week is what Bonnie is trying to do, guess I better get started before Kristina leaves me in her dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I am already sewing part 3...so get busy ladies.
