Christmas Quilt-a-long April Afternoon Check-In

Okay I have all of this month's Mystery Quilt Assignment done!  Are any of you longing to know what this will look like?  Well I'm stumped.  Sue made a comment last month about seeing who would catch on first.  Well it's not going to be me.

I think I must have been on a roll when I was cutting these because I was supposed to end up with 20 of these triple sets, but I have 21, plus the little guy on the right.  Anyone want to tell me how you over cut fabric the same number of squares in both colors?  Perhaps I can make something happen on the back with those extras.
The Kindle cover will have to wait until another day because while the pattern doesn't call for the interfacing I know I'll be unhappy if I make it without it. Besides I think I hear the turtles calling me.  I wonder what that would sound like - turtles calling that is.  Blup, blup?  Bubble, Bubble?  Considering I had to rip out an hour's worth of quilting yesterday (it took two hours to rip it out mind you)  I think the Bubble, Bubble is surely right.  Yep, Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Turtle Trouble!

Welcome to the quilt along - I had extras in all my units - I tend to over cut just so I don't actually short myself. It will all get used.

Boy - I love those block strips!

Mind you, I always love your fabric choices - your aqua/forest/turquoise/sea greens are just my cup of tea!

PS Let us know if you find out the sound of a turtle!!

Love your units! Always good to have an extra in case. You were sure busy today! Congrats on getting them finished!

Looks great, but I don't know what it will be either.

Great fabrics and colours! I'm loving seeing what everyone is doing with the mystery quilt.

Teehee. Perhaps I should have started a competition along with the design, to guess the finished design?

I reallylike how the dark green compliments the christmas novelty fabric. It's going to be interesting to see what the quilt ends up looking like in the end.

Your quarter square triangles look great! I love your color selection. Happy quilting.
