The last few days I've made some mug rugs for Christmas, and continued with the Orca Mystery Quilt.
I finished 168 of the 350 2"hst units from Part 3 and skipped Part 4 so I can add them to Part 5 LOL.

Part 5 is to cut 700 triangle to add to Part 3. Well, that too for ever - not that I'm whining - and I only got 225 cut before I had to cook dinner.
My goal this week was to get 50 units of each part complete. Well I got 168 of part 3 complete, but have pre-cut the required material to complete the 350.
I have also added the wings to Part 3 to complete 50 of Part 5. So I am pretty pleased with myself. (AND I did all this while looking after my granddaughter!
I chain stitched and cut the tabs off as I went.
Cooper - granddaughter - loved the flags and was handing me the wings to put on LOL.
So here are 50 units complete.
I'm looking forward to the next part, although I doubt I'll be able to do any more until after Christmas, and if I can do it while travelling :-).
Here are all the bits and pieces ready to go away until after Christmas.
Have a safe and Happy Holiday Season.

I love your blog title! I feel that way most of the time. Your colors are beautiful,I know what you mean about keeping up, especially with the holidays. I have been printing the clues out, but so far have kept up (barely). Have a Merry Christmas!
