Happy Monday Quilting Friends! I have a bunch of projects that I'm trying to juggle right now. Glad that you have stopped by to see what makes me smile...

| Kilowatts |
Kilowatts is moving right along. I spent most of this weekend working on Bonnie Hunter's 2013 Mystery, but I did make time for four rounds on Block A (the last 12) and three rounds on Block B (the last 6). Mom sent me a few more fabrics that I incorporated and I'm hoping to stop by Rosie's Calico Cupboard to see if they carry and black/white Western theme fabrics.

| Kingsford Kove |
Kingsford Kove was my second priority these last three days. I have all the pieces ready to assemble into blocks. The pattern calls for one solid border, but I'm thinking a solid black inner border might set it off nicely and finish with one of the two black fabrics above. The remaining fabrics will be cut into strips for a scrappy binding. Kingsford Kove is my 2013 December UFO. This has been a terrific year for starting and finishing 13 projects with Aunt Marti's Thirteen in '13 UFO Challenge. I have been working on my 2014 List already. Aunt Marti will be featuring this group project next year. If you are interested check out www.52Quilts.com. Aunt Marti will welcome you eagerly.
For turning in my 2013 November UFO I was entered to win a fabulous prize from Aunt Marti! This is what came in the mail on Saturday. I am short on reproduction fabrics and these will compliment my stash perfectly. Then there are the Thangles to try out sometime. I have heard lots of quilters use them with great results.
Last, but first and foremost is Part 2 finished. I enjoyed making all 100 of these happy looking chevron units. How do you think Part 1 and 2 will play together? We've already gotten to use all the colors in just the first two clues. I wonder if the floor tiles in the instructions of Part 2 is a hint... I am all set for Part 3.
I have a busy week ahead. Tonight I will be preparing my contribution for Sunshine Quilt Guild's Pot Luck. I'm to make a main dish. I'm thinking something vegetarian...we shall see. We meet on Tuesday where an auction will take place too. Thursday night I will be cooking again for a work holiday lunch. When I get home I will be pulling from the blue basket with Part 3 instructions in hand. Have a great week and stay warm everyone.

I could only complete 13 UFOs in a year if they were all minis!! You are amazing, as always!
Your chevrons look great. I wondered the same thing about the tile floor, but who dares second guess Bonnie? : )
Will your black/white have additional colors? It is helpful to see the blocks pre-constructed. I think you get first prize for CS Step two!
I have never seen a black and white pineapple quilt before. It's beautiful! And your other neutral quilt is fabulous too. I love the graphic quality of it.
Clue two looks great!
That's a lot to be working on all at once! Everything looks wonderful.
Guess my comment didn't go through. Everything looks so nice. I am sure that Kilowatts will be an eye stopper. I know you love your Fridays off, you really get so much done. Kingsford Kove is also coming along great. Praying for a good result in the Calif. Quilt Show
