Good Fortune! - Clue #3

Lots of personal family 'things' to take care of prior to getting to Clue #3, but was able to finish up just this Wednesday Morning ;-)

Good Fortune! Clue #3


Chain piecing works wonders while trying to get these units finished up in a hurry!

Chain piecing the green/neutral half-Chevrons

And the Bonus HSTs:

Half-square triangles/HSTs - notice the Christmas trees ;-)

Trimming creates these units, after carefully stitching - it's a beautiful thing!

All ready to trim, creating those 'Bonus HSTs'

Clue #3 is trimmed/pressed and all carefully put away, along w/previous clues, until Bonnie's BIG Reveal!

Clues #1, 2 & 3
Back to Holiday organizing...

Later,

Clue #2 - Love the Blue ;-)

And we're off to Clue #2 of the Good Fortune! Mystery - which includes LOTS of Blues...love it!

My 'blue' choices are wide and varied, including at least one Holiday selection, in honor of this Holiday season:

Clue #2 of the Bonnie Hunter Mystery - Good Fortune!

Sewing these HSTs together in chain formation was Fast & FUN!  My idea of a good sewing session:

Chain sewing the HST units 'my way' ;-)

ALL the HST units have now been sewn together and pressed, just need to finish cutting them.  Stopped for a bit to work on a special Christmas quilt on honor and Memory of Stan Lee/Marvel:

Prior to Clue #2 being released on Friday, my baby brother, Monty passed away suddenly, after secondary complications from emergency abdominal surgery on the previous Tuesday...We will miss him dearly.

My baby bro, Monty - pictured w/family members on a recent trip

Our family will celebrate my brother, Monty's life and spread his ashes at 4:20 pm, per his request, this upcoming Saturday.  This quilter did NOT know/understand the significance of the "4:20 pm" designation - just goes to show, you can learn something at anytime in one's life.  I'm sure he's getting a chuckle out of his final request, I know I did ;-)

UPDATE:  I've decided this Good Fortune! Mystery quilt will be a Tribute quilt to my baby brother, Monty...Back to cutting!

ALL cut/pressed & trimmed:



And the Marvel quilt top is complete and ready to quilt:
