Grand Illusion, Parts 4 & 5

Hi all -

After a marathon week of sewing, I've finished up through part 5 of the Bonnie Hunter Grand Illusion Mystery quilt. That completes all of the units and I've just started on the final clue which sews the units together into blocks, sashings and borders, and, finally, into the completed quilt top. I can't believe the clues are done already!! I thought I should post my progress so I could join this week's link-up.

In my last post, I was still only part way through part 3. Here are the completed units. I like to lay all of the units out on the kitchen floor. You never know when that'll inspire another quilt!


And here are the part 4 units. I LOVE how these look together and can see doing another quilt like this.


And, finally, part 5. This was an easy part to give us a chance to do some catch-up before assembling the quilt.





Now to put it all together.....

I thought I would also share some pictures of our dog walk this morning. We have to go early in the morning to avoid seeing anyone else because Lance is afraid of people and he'll bark at them if we see anyone. But it's nice to be able to enjoy the great outdoors together!





And Lance found a deer bone on the trail that he really enjoyed:


I do love living in the Rocky Mountains!
