Design Wall Monday: Celtic Solstice Mystery

Part 2, Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice Mystery.

Whew! 100 chevrons that finish at 3"! Glad I had a beautiful view of Pikes Peak covered with snow today, because I stitched, trimmed, pressed and squared-up for five hours!



 I love putting my my finished mystery steps on the design wall to admire:


Tomorrow I must finish this table runner! I'm not happy with the way the border print looks, but I don't have time to experiment with something different. Maybe it will look better when the other two sides are sewn on!?!


Linking up to Bonnie's Celtic Solstice Mystery, Part 2.

The temperature in Colorado Springs is supposed to get above freezing tomorrow -- here's hoping!

  1. I thought I was almost finished with step 1 then recounted. I have to make 27 more. I am hoping to start on step 2 tomorrow after work. I guess I will be behind this mystery and playing catch-up. Oh well..

  8. That's a whole lot of chevron action you've got going on there! Very jealous of that view of yours.

  12. Greetings from Wisconsin. It's been below 0 here for several days! However, it does keep me inside working on Celtic Solstice. Yours look great as does the table runner. I have only 40 Chevrons finished.

  14. Looks like you are ready for Part 3...HSTs in orange and yellow! I'm set for starting later today when my weekend starts... I like the border for the table runner. Not anywhere near your temperatures here in San Diego, CA, but it is still cold for us. Sandi
