This is a first!

These past couple of weeks, I've been sewing up a storm!  Every spare moment, I've been at the machine or the ironing board or cutting table.  For the first time in the three years I've been doing Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts, I'm completely caught up!  Maybe I'll actually finish one!
Clues 1-7 DONE for Frolic!

Or maybe not - I still haven't finished On Ringo Lake or Good Fortune, but I haven't given up hope yet.
Good Fortune still needs three more borders added - I love the look of pieced borders, but I hate adding them!
On Ringo Lake just needs to be assembled, but I don't love the colors so my motivation is low.
I've been finishing lots of other things lately, though.  I've read half a dozen books in the last couple of weeks, and I finished several knitting projects for gifts this year.
Matching hats for my little boy neighbors who love everything I wear in rainbow colors.

Socks for my mom (at the bottom of her bed is a quilt I made her about 12 years ago - another Bonnie Hunter pattern - and on the bed is a flannel & denim rag quilt I helped her make for herself).
I hope this creative finishing streak continues - I have LOTS of works in progress that I would love to see come to completion!

Give yourself permission to CHANGE a pattern so it can be finished. Don't like pieced borders? Then don't do them! Using plainer borders will be just as lovely for this quilt.

I just love how much you've gotten done. I have clue 7 cut out and am going to retreat this weekend, so I won't be caught up, but I am staying pretty close since I couldn't sew for 3 weeks. I hope to assemble Good Fortune this weekend too.

I love your On Ringo Lake colors. I've never made one of Bonnie's mystery quilts.
