I only recently "discovered" Bonnie Hunter (What? Have I been living under a rock?). As soon as I learned about the mystery quilt, I decided I wanted to join in. Since this is my first time, I decided to use the colors Bonnie suggested. Most if the time, I like to do my own thing. But, without knowing how the pieces will come together, I figured I better use her suggested colors. Next time I may strike out on my own color-wise (already sure there will be a next time!).
Since I do have a lot of other things I plan to sew/quilt in 2014, I'm planning to make my version smaller than the two options Bonnie gave, so I'm going to make half the blocks needed for the 75 x 75 size option.
Even with making the "mini" version, it seemed like it took forever to get the pieces cut from the first clue, but that's probably just because I do my cutting late at night!
I finished cutting the blue side triangles Sunday morning and got to sewing a few blocks together Sunday afternoon. Since I had some other sewing projects with deadlines, I only put together 10 units of each colorway.
Here's my start, 10 neutral and ten orange units:
I swore that I'd strike out on my own color-wise this year (Easy Street from 2012 was my first BH mystery). But you know, Easy Street turned out so well, that I found myself following her color suggestions this year as well. Love your start on segment one!
