Allietare, here I come!

I could have kicked myself today.  With all our company gone, I went down to the Flat to sew, and forgot to bring along a piglet sketch.  I really really really wanted to sew a piglet, but not enough to run back up to the house and start over.
So I started cutting and sewing for Allietare.  Clue 1 is just HSTs of neutrals with the constant gray.


I got 54 of them made and put them into the project box I've set aside for Allietare bits.


I only need 240 more and I'll have clue 1 done.
I should be able to do them as leaders/enders this week, right?

I'm linking up with Oh Scrap!  at Quilting is More Fun than Housework.  Come see all the gorgeousness!

    I think optimism is a wonderful trait, but 294 HSTs? Holy cow! You go, girl! And have fun!

    Wow that is a lot of HST's for sure, good luck with it. I sure do like your grey fabric. It will be fun to see how they all look in the end.

    Congrats on a good start on the mystery, nice choice of fabrics. The piggies are sure cute. I checked them out, being nosey. They could grow into quite an addiction because they are so sweet. Enjoy your stitching this week!

    That is a lot of HSTs. You are going to need a bigger project box! Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap. I hope to see piggies tomorrow!

    Since I am not doing the mystery this year, I will have to enjoy it vicariously through bloggers like you. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Gayle - I just started cutting for this quilt too - I don't know if you hang out in Ravelry anymore, but the quilting group there has a thread for it. I'm just making 1/2 size since I LOVE the process of a mystery quilt, but sometimes (last year)don't love the quilt :)
