Well, I got about 50 of my rail fence blocks completed, and my sewing machine blew a gasket or something. The top stitch looks great, but the under side is giant loops of fabric. It's like the tension totally went away. I re-threaded top several times and reloaded the bobbin. No help. Wonder if they will do emergency repairs on the weekend??? Fotunately, I do have a back up machine. I'm using dark blues and reds. I have lots of reds in my stash and scraps, so am looking forward to using these in this mystery. As soon as I get the backup machine setup, I'll be able to finish up the last of these rail fences and move on to Part II.

Your blocks are looking great! I hope to join in the mystery, but not until after Christmas...too busy.
I'm living vicariously through everyone else's mystery quilt. I'm enjoying watching them progress.
I am surfing the CC web ring and checking out all the beautiful works in progress.
I am gonna use red and blue also...am thinking maybe gold as the neutral....that way it will be a graduation gift for my son when he graduates from Navy A School:).
Hugs,
Phyl
