A new beginning

While I still don't feel like doing much of anything, I started a new mystery quilt earlier this week, while I still had some mojo.  It's the Pat Sloan Mystery Quilt-Along, 'Out of This World'.  Here is block one:

Can't wait to see what comes next... should be interesting.... I'm glad the blocks aren't pictorial space blocks (like piecing or paper-piecing a space shuttle picture, for example)... the theme seems to be more inspiration rather than pictorial, which is nice.  Had fun making this one... gave me a little respite from the pain.
