Lots of quilting time here while it is cold outside. This week I worked on blocks made from the Clue #1 of the annual mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter's blog. (Bonnie's blog here) Thank you Bonnie for all of the quilts you inspire. I know some of us are difficult to herd together, but I want you to know we all really enjoy your mysteries and the quilts you inspire. I sure couldn't do your job - I can't even herd myself sometimes! This year's mystery parts just took me in another direction, and I truly hope Bonnie doesn't mind.
I made two picnic quilts, each measuring 52 in. by 56 in. Here's a picture of Sophia Grace and Rosie sitting on them with some of our vintage picnic plates:
The red checked alternate squares and borders just said picnic to me, and we need a couple of picnic quilts for the summers at the lake. Here's a closeup of the girls having tea on the picnic cloths. They approve!

Just to show you how NOT picnic weather it is, here's a picture of the shoreline of Lake Michigan, taken nearby this week.
Now that these two tops are finished, and the Clue #2 top was finished last week, (See blog post here) ,it's time to work on Clue #3, green and white squares. It's going to be a Triple Irish Chain, and I've started putting blocks together on the design wall (which is the king sized bed surface).
I do hope my long arm quilter can quilt a Michigan State Spartan warrior helmet in the white spaces. That would fit out family so well. It is fun to make, and I hope to have it together soon.
What is on your design wall today? I am linking up with Judy Laquidara's blog for Design Wall Mondays, to see what other quilters are working on. (Here)
