Celtic Solstice - Part 1

What fun that the Celtic Solstice mystery has finally started. I do have all of my "Peaky and Spike" units cut. Sunday evening I sewed a few units together on my sweet little Nina. They are turning out perfect. I am using Bonnie's color pallet, only in a little bit deeper more autumn colors. Think I am going to like this one a lot. Course I loved both Orca Bay and Easy Street.


Today I am going to put Season 1 of Downton Abbey in the DVD player and sew away. Hope to finish sewing all the units while Hubby is gone playing cards with his buddies! LOL

Have taken the time to view the color choices of others. Wow, there are some great ones. Be sure to check out: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2013/12/celtic-solstice-mystery-monday-link-up-1.html

    Great looking oranges, Beth! I haven't decided yet whether or not to make the big quilt, or stay with the smaller version.

      Thanks Vic! I am not sure if I will stay with the smaller version. Will have to wait and see how CS looks at the end. Most of the time I like a regular border treatment to finish off a quilt top. Hugs

      Thanks Deb! In January, two friends and myself are going on a Downton Abbey retreat at Linden Hills Mansions in Little Falls, MN. Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs will be our fearless leader and we will be working on Chris's design of "Fanfare", a free pattern on the Andover fabric site. Should be a blast! Hugs
