Even though the clues come out on Friday morning, I generally do not attempt to try them until Monday. One reason, my weekends have been a bit busy. Another reason is that I want to wait and see what the reaction from the masses is. I think there are over 700 people attempting the Grand Illusion Mystery presented by Bonnie Hunter. I follow along on facebook and see what everyone is saying about the process. Then, I try. Most people seem to be piecing this block using the 3rd piecing directions that Bonnie provided. I like this choice because of the extra little triangles that you get in the process. Tonight my tiny triangles look like this:
The one completed block I have is not to size and certainly not even matched right. But, it is a sample and it is done.
This quilt is one that I am going to love, I can just tell! I love the colors and I love the different ways the blocks can be used together. Looking forward to Clue #3 on Friday. Next week my sewing will have to take place on Tuesday as I have travel plans for the upcoming weekend!
