I have never joined in a "mystery quilt" before, but I do love Bonnie Hunter's idea of quilting. I've used and shared her Quiltville website, and always admired the many finishes shared there. So, here is week 2 of Easy Street Quilt Mystery, and yippee! I'm on track! I was pulled in by the colors and her promise of it not being too hard (but that is relative, lol)
Here is my quilt in a bag ~
Some of the 200+ 4 patches ~
Here are a few geese, in purples and dark blues ~
These teals and turquoise fat quarters were picked last night at the Sew and Sew in Glendora,
The "bricks" are even ready!
Here's plans to stick to it!
Happy Quilting ~
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God" Hebrews 11:1,3
I am printing the instructions but not jumping in to participate yet. I still have a family member in the hospital so not a lot of time to sew. Your four patches and flying geese look great. I wonder what the next step will be?
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking good! Love the colors of this one.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors! It will be fun to see this quilt take shape.
ReplyDeleteGreat job so far! I am right there with you trying my best to keep up with the mystery! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you are up to date. I know that would not be the case for me!

Yippie! I love the fabrics you're working with and I'm going to enjoy watching you have fun. :) *karendianne.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors especially the purples and blues. It looks like it will be amazing when it's finished. After the first of the year, I plan to take a quilting class. Maybe then, I can get over some of my intimidation!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - me, too! But that's A LOT of units to make - oh, my! So, of course, I am behind, but, oh, well, I WILL catch up! Yours looks great, Pokey!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great so far.
ReplyDeleteWell done! this is the first time I have not done the mystery but will down load all the directions and try to do it after we move. Love Bonnie's patterns don't you?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the journey of making this quilt and chatting with the other makers over at Quiltvillechat :0).
Happy Sewing Dear Pokey
Good for you for sticking with it. I started a quilt along and am so far behind. Bonnie's mystery quilts are ALWAYS great, but I have no patience. I need to know before hand what it will look like. Yours is looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteblessings,jill
Great photos and great colors!
ReplyDeleteLooking wonderful! Your fabrics are working beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline!
I do love Mystery quilts! They are always so fun to see come together. Always love black and white and those bright colors are wonderful. Enjoy the class.
ReplyDeleteHi Pokey, love your colours , the quilt will be very striking when finished.
ReplyDeleteOoo. I love your colors Pokey - black and white; purple; and turquoise/aqua. Wow. That's a sure-fire winner in my book! I've done one of Bonnie's before (it's still unfinished) and just can't seem to manage it when it's around Christmas, as it always is. I'm cheering for you to make it through to the end!
ReplyDeleteLooking great - I just LOVE your 'grey' - everything looks so cheerful....You've done GOOD!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! So happy you are joining in and I am SURE you will love it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the colors of your quilt! Some day I will have time to do something like this Mystery bee. Have fun! I think the colors alone would be cheerful enough to keep me coming back to my sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness - your colors are so pretty - I didn't join in - but know I"ll be sorry! And you'll have this lovely finished quilt to look at!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you chose!
