G. I. Clue #4 and Reddit Secret Santa gift

Clue 4 in the Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville was fairly quick to piece.

Cutting squares is a breeze, the pink/blue units were done in step #1 so just blue/white to cut and piece.

These are bits of all the clues so far. Only Bonnie knows how they will all fit together in a quilt!

Ready for clue celebration?

Bubblegum Martini!! Add some of each, stir and enjoy.

(Blue Curacao, Creme de Banana, Bailey's Irish Creme.) 

I love finishing clues! This quilt is definitely a party quilt.

I've got clues 1-4 in baggies ready for our final instructions on assembly.

REDDIT Secret Santa 2014

I joined in the 2014 Reddit Gifts Secret Santa exchange. 

I believe we set a Guiness world record for the largest exchange--over 200,000 people!! 

I was Santa #99,856.

The gift I received was 4 Vera Bradley cloth napkins for me to quilt with. 

I cut a few squares from each one and pieced it like this.

I quilted all the layers with fusible fleece and fusible interfacing to make it stiff.

Then shaped it like a basket and added binding around the top.

Thanks Secret Santa!!

I sent my person an I SPY quilt that I purchased on Etsy.

It came with a laminated list of items to find in the quilt.

I also sent her a cookbook that contains my all-time favorite recipe.

She was pleased. Merry Christmas!! Ho ho ho.
