But, I like it enough to donate to someone else. And guess what?? It didn't even make a dent in the wool stash.

Mystery Quilt - the cutting out
Or some of the cutting out. I'm drastically running out of time today, this is all I could do.
It's going to be very very very bright, I think.
Things are good here, lovely and warm, halfway through the school holidays. Time marches on so quickly, doesn't it?

Mystery Quilts
I always get sucked in to do the Quiltville mystery quilt, buy the fabric, get all excited, and then completely have no time at all to do it when it's that close to the Christmas season. I totally understand why she posts it then, but realistically I just can't fit it in my life.
I always buy the stupid fabric too and then end up feeling cross with myself, because why would I buy it when I know I'll have no time to do it?
So when From My Carolina Home announced she was doing a mystery quilt, I decided to use up the fabrics I brought for Grassy Creek and use them in this one. And as this one has just started, I should be able to manage the steps.
I cut out half of the cutting requirements today:

Mysolation Mystery Quilt - the flimsy revealed
I promised you a shot of the finished Mysolation quilt. So I always keep my promises (kinda mostly).
Do you like it?
It needs a jolly good press and all the threads removed, but I think overall it's a very nice quilt.
It's very hot today and none of us feel like doing very much. I've so much to do outside but it's just all too hard.
It's even too hot to sew. Fancy that.

A wander through another museum
Hi lovely readers,
We had some time in Adelaide during the week, and the youngest daughter and I had time to kill in Glenelg.
In our strolls, we found a small museum. You know us and museums. I took some photos that I thought I'd share with you.
It was only a small museum above the Council Chambers, but it was lovely to visit. A large part of it was devoted to the original owners of the land and that was very sensitively done, I didn't take photos of that part though. Glenelg is a beach side suburb of South Australia.
I'm very grateful for local government agencies that do this kind of thing - we only had to pay a voluntary gold coin donation to cover the entrance fee. It was well worth the price.
Other than that, today's been a stinker, and I've done very little with my time but keep cool. I see it's snowing over the other side of the world - I hope you are all keeping as warm as you can!

Something new to show you
I've decided this year to commit to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilting project. If you're not familiar with it, it's where you make a block (or quilt) in the colour of the month. It's a long term thing that was organised originally by a blogger named Superscrappy and each year I think I will contribute, and each year I don't.
But this year I've started.
The colour is pink for this month.
I've made this star block before and it always works out. This particular one seems to be a bit choppy, I think I need to work on my colour values a bit more. I think this would have worked a bit better with more of the same value pink, rather than just any that I could find in the scrap bin.

Mysolation Mystery Quilt Post Three
Another version here. I don't like this one as much. I think I'll stick with the previous design.
