I'm IN!!

I've never done a Bonnie Hunter mystery but I've seen so many gorgeous quilts from them I just had to dive in this time. I'm using greens, pinks and purples with neutrals.

My method for QSTs: cut a light and dark 2 1/4" square. Right sides together, sew a scant 1/4" seam down one side then down the opposite (parallel) side. Cut diagonally, corner to corner press open. Try it!

I've made all 224 plus a few more so I'm ready for Clue #2! Check out everyone elses QSTs on Bonnies Blog!

Love your colourchoice, i'm not that daring yet! It's my first mystery, allthough I change the blue from Bonnie into green.
Have fun with all the next steps to com.

Nice technique. I've finished mine, but if any more are called for...I know what to do.

I did last year's mystery and just love the quilt. I plan to start on my quarter square triangles soon. Love your choice of colors.
