I love mystery quilts and for the last 4 years I've been lucky to have the time to do Bonnie's mystery at Quiltville.
So this is part 1.
Bonnie suggests colours - I usually change them :) . This time I only changed one. I substituted purple for yellow - I don't like yellow!
These are 4 of the 6 colours I've chosen for the quilt. I am doing half size and will add blocks if I need to.
I like to use the rotating cutting mat, my 2.5 inch square ruler, and my F&P half & quarter square triangle ruler.
So after making 50 blocks and 20 half square triangles this is what I came up with.
Now to wait for part 2.
Happy sewing
Allison
The purple is a good substitution, your blocks look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate. Was unsure what to substitute, but I had a few yard of this purple so thought great. :)
DeleteLove the purple!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think it will work well
DeleteBeautiful assortment of fabrics for Grand Illusion. I only changed one too, black for purple. I did choose a dark gold rather than yello.
ReplyDeleteYes, gold would look great.
DeleteLooks like fun. I have a Bonnie Hunter quilt still in pieces from a couple of years ago- perhaps I should be getting on with it, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI have made the last four Bonnie Mysteries, and only completed one - Easy Street. Taking Orca on holidays though, so maybe I will finish that one.
DeleteI like your colour way.
ReplyDeleteThank you - just don't like yellow :)
