Yesterday afternoon I started making a little mystery quilt from Dorothy Young's yahoo group -- I finished all the blocks this morning, and before she posted "her" layout, I arranged them like this: And then she posted her version, which looks like this:
I have lots of little HSTs left over, which I'm going to use for part of the border. Haven't decided which layout I like better or what the rest of the border will be...
Has anyone switched to the new blog editor on blogger? Am I the only one who hates it and is planning to switch back?
I took a little outing to the nearby city of San Leandro this afternoon, for a very spicy chai latte and an "in person" look at Libby's quilts at the Zocalo Cafe. They are beautiful and I saw several I'd be pleased to hang on my walls!
Next up, chopping a whole lot of onions and garlic for our annual chili-fest tomorrow!

You are going to have an impressive block party quilt!
Looks like that was a cool mystery–can't wait to see your finished quilt!
And those block party blocks are going to make something lovely, too.
I made a pot of very spicy black bean chili yesterday; it was just the thing to take the winter chill off–it was cold enough that the snow was sticking in Dallas.
Happy New Year, Julie. I'm wishing you lots of good things (and finished quilts!) in 2010.
The fabric in the mystery blocks is so pretty; love the red especially.
I didn't know Blogger had a new editing program. I can't do lots of things with it now; I don't know if my web browser is out of date or what.
Loving all of that orange!
Thanks for the mention of the quilts. I am so glad you visited:0
I would like to get involved in the Friday Block party but I do not know where to begin. Can you help me?
There's a new blogger blog post editor? I hadn't noticed! I move my photos in the HTML side, so I haven't had a problem with photos --something I know lots of people struggle with on blogger.
