A Superbowl Mystery

Planet Patchwork is posting instructions for a mystery quilt on Superbowl Sunday (fabric requirements and initial cutting directions are already up):

Planet Patchwork - A Superbowl Mystery

If you don't care to watch the super bowl and you have ever thought about doing a mystery quilt, this might be a good time to join the fun (door prizes given to subscribers of their newsletter - a link to sign up is on the above page).
I've only done one mystery quilt (in February 2003):
It was the weekend that the shuttle Columbia exploded on reentry - the quilt project really helped me cope with the tragedy that had happened. The mystery quilt did not have a name, like most of Deb's (of quiltaholics.com) earlier mysteries - it was such an eerie feeling to see that once the final assembly was complete, it was a "trip around the world" pattern. I have one block inserted incorrectly near the center but until I looked at the photo I just didn't see it.
So it is still a top - do I want to take it apart and turn that one little block or should I just quilt it and get it out of the pile of wips?

I am thinking I may be ready to try my second mystery quilt but I must dig through my fabric to see if I have any speaking to me.

Abbie fixed my broken fob!

Oh, I was so sad the day my scissor fob (given to me by a very special lady I met online) broke and beads scattered everywhere. I knew I was clueless about how to repair it but I always hoped it would one day be made whole. I saved it in an altoid tin - out of sight but not forgotten.

Abbie-Iowa on the 123Stitch! message board offered to take a look at it for me.

I can not describe my joy when this arrived in my mail today

I will think of Abbie whenever I am stitching and be so grateful to her for rescuing my treasure

I started saving my orts several months ago.
I didn't think I would have a chance to post on the right day but it looks like I do.
Maybe this isn't as easy as it I thought it would be ☺
