I'm just so gosh darn excited to be participating in Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt Along, Easy Street. I've never done a mystery quilt before, so I am excited to see this quilt transform. This is my color palette. I strayed a tiny bit with a substitution of cream with white print for the black on white print, and pinks instead of purple. I love the Batiks!
Two inch strips, ready to sew! The grey is Kaufman Artisan Elementals Fern in Steel. Hancocks Paducah is having a sale on batks.
And here are 201 4square blocks! And yes, I twirled the centers! I love the cream and grey together!
Now I'm working on finishing my flying geese. I just came down with the grandkid's virus, and it's slow going. Get up, sew a bit, go back to bed and bury myself in a blankie! Amazing the bugs they bring home from Kindergarden! I think I'll send some Lysol spray to Aiden's class this next payday. Last time I sent a bunch of hand sanitizer.

Here is my bound and quilted baby blanket. I'm so pleased how it came out! Hope she is too!
I free motion embroidered the baby's name. I think it was the perfect touch! Now I'm off! got to finish those geese!
I love your fabrics and color of your baby quilt.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Just finished my geese, and am cutting the 2 x 3 1/2 rectangles. I'm so excited to see this quilt develope!
DeleteThe cream and grey fabrics are beautiful together! I considered changing some of the colors, but I decided to stick with her suggestions. This is my first mystery quilt, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wasn't sure and still am not sure how the white on cream substitute will work. I really like the black on white, but didn't have enough in my stash, and what I had originally ordered from Hancocks Paducah is out of stock. This is my very first mystery quilt too! I can't wait for tomorrow's clue!
