I'm Doing It. . . !
After years of watching others produce amazing, one-of-a-kind, scrappy (my favorite!) colorful, stash-busting quilts from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville Mysteries, I've jumped on the Quilt Train to success and joined them! Quiltville will post a new mystery clue every Friday starting November 18th for 7-8 weeks and you need to keep up!
If you are familiar with Bonnie's mysteries, they are not for the faint at heart!! There's lots and lots. . . and LOTS of work to do. (For example, the first clue is to make 224, 2 1/2" quarter square triangles!! Yes, that means the triangles are cut from 1 1/2" strips--OH, MY!)
As you can see, I've got them started--in fact, I have 211 finished at this writing! Should be finished by tomorrow. Are you going to join me? I'll bet there are a lot of comments about this mystery on Judy's Design Wall Monday post today--go see!

Thanks for the name of the Mystery Quilt, checking it out right now. I may start behind but I will catch up over the next week as I have some time off. The ruched flowers took a lot of time last night and I finally finished the last at 10:30. I did take a few minutes Sunday and pulled some fabric from my stash.....now I need to see if I have more. FUN!!
Great colors! Kudos for signing up.
I wish you success!

Good for you...taking on one of Bonnie's mysteries looks like so much fun but I absolutely can't manage it this year...but I'm printing the instructions! Love your purples.
love the fabrics in your QST!
Yea! Your purple blocks look great. You're nearly done too!
I am doing it too for the first time. I love your colors, mine are blue and creamy yellows. Can't wait io see how it comes out!
You are just going to LOVE the mystery! Your QSTs look fabulous!! Great colors :) I have purple and off white too!!
Have a blast! I'm "quilting" vicariously thru all of you who are participating in this one! :)
Those are great colors -- I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I thought about jumping into this one, but guess I was one of the faint of heart followers. I'll enjoy by watching you and others participate, though!
Good for you! You're way ahead of me, but I have a feeling I'm going to have to do this one, too. So far I've only printed the instructions. LoL
