When you are done, it should look like this:

remember to label them so that when it is time to put it all together it will be simpler….put a number in the top left corner….

we will do atleast 2 chunks next week, possibly 3….what do you prefer?? i think 3 is really doable!

i am gonna give the amounts that you will need for next week based on doing 3 chunks….

i am going to give you a hint and let you know that one of the chunks for next week will NOT have 81 pieces……

Your post's title definitely brought a chuckle :0)

I'm lacking motivation---at least I was until I saw your post. I think it's time to start tackling these chunks before I get too far behind, and then won't want to take part anymore...

Thanks again for sharing this project with all of us! :0) A fun way to stay excited!

my daughter just wrote on my facebook wall that i need to blog about my kids more often--she can't relate to all this quilting stuff LOL

so, tomorrow, i WILL get some of the kids pictures up there--hopefully people will find them interesting too LOL i can always make up stories to go with them to make it more interesting....

tackle those chunks!!! i am gonna make next weeks 3 tomorrow, AFTER i blog about the kids LOL

Hi I have just discovered this thanks to Vesuvious, so I am in. I hope. Better late than never. Just got to sort out fabrics and start a marathon cutting session.

lynne said...

janet,
welcome, and, as they say....better late than never LOL

no need for a marathon cutting session, just cut enough for now to get caught up....that is what is nice about this...you can cut as you go :o)

glad to have you from the other side of the pond....

Mavis said...

I'm off to start step 2. Tues and Wed were write-offs as far as evening sewing (after a long day's work) but tonight I have a quiet house. Decaf's a brewin' then watch me go!

Lynne - I've got my first "chunk" done - yippee!!! The second is on my design wall.

Roslyn said...

The mystery is looking interesting. When you are done will you be posting PDF file for the pattern?I am up to my eyeballs right now!

lynne said...

roslyn,
when we are all done i will actually be giving the excel chart that has the full quilt. i am now hearing, inside my head, many people saying that they do not have excel....so, i will be learning how to make a pdf file to download between now and the end of the mystery :o) lots for me to learn doing this LOL, but learning is always a good thing right?
