Allietare

I almost decided not to do Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt this year.  I have not gotten either  Grand Illusion or  Celtic Solstice quilted yet, and  I also have plenty of works in progress

 But I have baskets of scraps, and I'd rather use them than organize them, so I'm in again this year.  I'm saving my red scraps for Talkin' Turkey, and I don't have many gold scraps, so I'm choosing my own colors.

Step 1:  Bonnie used gray; I'm using yellow.


Step 2:  Bonnie used red; I'm using blue.                                                                                                    
                                                       

We had to cut some squares too.  Bonnie used black; I'm using brown.

The collection of colours sure looks good together. Can I take some lessons from you on that?

I really love the combination of blue and brown, and yellow always pops against blue. I am looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

Can't wait to see how your colour change up makes the quilt look!
While I finished Grand Illusion (and gifted it already) Celtic Solstice top is still sitting in my pile of tops to quilt! I am wondering how in the world I am going to quilt that beast as it is just a bit to big for my long arm!! LOL It will be a learning experience!!

I also have to quilt two previous mysteries. But so loved doing them with everyone. You will have a beautiful quilt.
