" Goodnight Irene Sew Along 2014"

     I wasn't going to do this Sew Along....no sir!  I'd picked my few projects for 2014 and was going to stick to them along with finishing some UFO's.  Then it happened.  We had a little issue with the satellite cable in my sewing room so hubby had to take some of the fabric bundles I had off a shelf to rearrange things and when he handed me 3 of those little bundles, I forget what they call the 2.5 inch square bundles.... Anyhow, he handed me 3 of the Fig Tree bundles and my Fig Tree scrap bin so I said to myself "self....use these for Terry's Sew Along http://terrytreasures.blogspot.com!!

    So, last night after we got home from being out, I cut the background fabric, which happens to be a silver/grey fabric I bought this summer in my search for the "perfect" grey, pulled the bin down, cut some 2.5 inch squares, and voile!  I had my 5 blocks for the week.  The blocks are 8.5 inch square which would give me approximately a 48 inch square quilt top after a border or two, so I'm thinking I might just use a larger layout and get at least a single or double quilt from it.  I have sooooo much Fig Tree scraps from programs I did with them a few years back that I just know I need to use them up.

     Here's my first 5 blocks.....

     I did get my "Celtic Solstice" quilt center finished and the first neutral border on but yesterday was a busy day so I'll have to get back to it tomorrow.  Today is hubby's birthday so we need to make some birthday brownies, wrap presents and cook dinner...no Bonnie Mystery today :)

     Happy Monday!
