I finished the top in the nick of time to get the final step and border tomorrow. And yes, two sections of half square triangles are on wrong. I can live with it. I messed up one of the blocks too and put a different pink half on another pink half and I can live with that too! This has been fun but I am ready to slow the pace. Thanks Bonnie!!
Here is another block from Beyond the Cherry Tree.
You all had some great suggestions for organizing and working on my hand projects. Thank you all so much who commented. I have a plan and hope to share that when the mystery frenzy is over.
Because I am keeping the parts to Midnight Stars fairly simple I'll plan on posting step 2 on Monday.

You are going like crazy! Love that quilt!
Your RRBC looks GREAT Lori!! I hope to get mine together over the weekend!! I am with you..had a lot of fun working on it, but other projects are calling :)
Congratulations on completing this one. And what a stunning quilt. Both you and Bonnie did an excellent job.
The cotton boll quilt is looking great! I like it better than the mystery quilt from last year that I did.
If you can't see it ride by on a galloping horse, it isn't a mistake.
I had to really look to find it.
Looks lovely to me.
sorry that should be riding by on a galloping horse.
I love this quilt! I started it, but chickend out because I really didn't want to make 600 HST! I might just bite the bullett and make the rest of it
Looks awesome! I love that quilt and hope to start one soon myself! congrats on a great job.
Wow, Lori!! You are on FIRE!! You go girl!
Paulette
I love that you can live with it so could I.. it looks great.
cheers
Christine
Your RRCB looks great! I'm still working on mine and it might be a while till I'm ready for the border. I must be a very slow qilter. I am looking forward to seeing what Bonnie has planned for the border though!
You go girl!! It looks so nice...just wonderful, and I can't wait to see the border, can you??
You really got a lot done and did such a beautiful job on the blocks.
Debbie
Looks good. I have all my blocks done but not put together yet. I hope to do that tomorrow and then work on the borders Saturday if it is snowing.
Mystery quilt is so gorgeous. I totally don't see where there is a mistake! Beautiful appliqué!
It looks fabulous. I really like that design.
Looking very good! I am still not a big fan of the string pieced blocks but they look a lot better IN the quilt than just by themselves.
I like your folk art "Humble" touch...
It looks good. I like simple. I am debating to get going on your project. Maybe that will jump start my quilting battery.
Wow you get so much done!! Your blocks look great. I'm glad your quiltalong is going at a slightly slower pace.
Your applique block is charming.
Wow, you've got this done, had company, you're doing the BTCT, You have been busy. This mystery turned out excellent! Can't wait to see the borders, she does interesting piecing for them.
Your quilt will be very beautiful. Blocks are wonderful.
Looks great lori
Think of it as charm instead of mistakes :)
It's my favorite thing about antique quilts
I'm transferring to Google Reader and lost a few blogs and am now "finding" them.
So sorry I haven't been around but am so glad to be back.
Beautiful, beautiful quilt. Oh my word, Lori, you are such a talent.
Hugs to you dear lady.
WOW! You have the first completed top that I have seen! I am still on step 5 and even skipped step 3! Way to go....it's fabulous!
Great Quilt really like it.
I really like your mystery quilt! I think the turned around bits make it more interesting. ;)
Your applique block is gorgeous!
Awesome quilt...love the setting blocks! I am glad you are waiting to post the next instructions for the Stars on Monday, it will give me time to catch up!
Your pace has been incredibly fast, must have been all this running you do LOL. Even after mentioning I couldn't find your mistakes, I can see why you can live with them!
Yours looks wonderful!
Oh girl, do you love it??? I've got all the directions ready and I think this one may be calling my name. Looks great.
I don't see mistake, so mistake doesn't exist :)
It look great, really and you are in perfect time!
I learned a long time ago that I couldn't keep up with Bonnie...cudos to you for speed and endurance! It looks great and any oops only adds to it!
The quilt top looks wonderful and I love that it has character - it makes it special.
Oh, I really love this quilt! It's a beauty!
You are amazing Lori! Bonnie's project is HUGE! and you're right on the money! Fab work as usual.
Like you I'm going slow with your Midnight Stars QAL too. I havent picked out the fabric but will do it today. The least thing I enjoy is being stressed by my hobby!
Hi Lori, Gorgeous mystery quilt. Do you have plans for the quilting yet? ~~Lisa
That quilt top is looking fabulous, what a ton of piecing. I love seeing your CT block, dont you just love that quirky bird?
I really love when quilts have that surprise in there, keep going don't look back!
oh just love your new applique block
yes that quilt is on my list to start, right now I just feel like sewing on the machine so applique days have to wait!
Have a great weekend!
Kathie
Your top looks beautiful so far. I am only on step 3.
The new applique block is pretty too. I still love that project but just don't have time right now for any more projects.
So beautiful! I love the block and the way it all turned out. Now I have to add that to my want to do list! Thanks for posting the picture!
Lori, I messed up a couple of the RRCB blocks too but if anyone notices and points them out to me I'll make sure they don't inherit it when I'm gone LOL.
Gail :)
Lori your cotton boll quilt is beautiful. I got 4 blocks with the HST going the wrong way, am I ripping...no way. I plan them for the corners so it will look intentional. You have done a super job.
The RRCB is awesome and I love all the details of it. Congrats on the finish. Jane.
Lori, it looks spectacular! And it seems like you just started it. I'm still in shock from the 600 HST you made.
Congrats on finishing your RRBC top! It looks fantastic and I love your borders. Don't fret of a few misaligned HST...I have some myself and they didn't get ripped. It is hard to find them when the quilt top is altogether. I am still working on mine, I am making a smaller version but need 16 blocks so must make one more and maybe another string. I am nursing a sinus cold this week so anything needing thought is on hold. I am doing my midnight star blocks.
