Well...almost - skating under the wire on the last day of February!
Just yesterday it was late December and yours truly was catching up on the annual Bonnie Hunter Mystery - Rhodendron Trail! (I did finish it...btw - just put my personal 'spin' on it ;-)
Speaking of - meet Hello Sunshine!
Hello Sunshine! |
A few pics from the clues leading 'up to' the finish:
Yep - changed things up a bit in 'my version' - including going scrappy w/pinks, changed out the skinny turquoise border sashing for a Big fat 2 1/2" one, changed out those corner stones to different Sunshine yellows and went totally scrappy w/turquoise fabric sashing! It's ALL mine and I Totally Love it!
Kudos to Bonnie for coming up w/gorgeous color palette to play with that I would typically NEVER touch w/quilting 10' pole BUT...so glad I did!
Chaining Hour Glass units ...LOTS of them! |
Assembling into blocks |
Butterfly Blocks - aren't these amazing! |
Oh yeah - almost forgot...chose to forego the 'on point' setting so we could enjoy ALL those gorgeous butterfly blocks...still dream about sewing them ;-)
Sashed out - ready for some flying geese, which will ALL fly the same direction on 'my quilt' ;-) |
And finally - added a gorgeous batik border straight from my stash...LOVE!
Bordered out - ready for quilting! |
Been hosting a Sweet Freedom Mystery or two myself...Stop by and see what we're up to when you get a chance - look forward to seeing You! https://sweetfreedommystery.blogspot.com/
