This is my first ever blog post and I am delighted that it is for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt - Easy Street.
I debated back and forth whether or not to take part in this mystery and when I saw that there was a blow out sale at one of my favourite on-line quilt shops the decision was made for me. I went through my fat quarters, yardage and scraps to see what I had of each colour and then ordered the balance which arrived early on Thursday last - just in time to start.
I made a decision early last week that as I was off on Friday I would begin sewing as soon as I could get a chance to download Step 1 and so I did. I am very proud to say I have step one finished. My grey is a good bit darker than Bonnie's selection but everybody's quilt is going to be different anyway.

I hope I have done things correctly and this is posted okay. I will learn as I go along - I hope!
Your colors and blocks look great.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on starting a new blog. And your colors look great. I debated for days about the grey that I was going to use. I settled on one that is lighter, but I like the look of your dark grey. Keep up the good work.

Looks like you figured out the blog! Your colors are really nice!!
ReplyDeleteOi some very nice bright coloured fabrics - it's fantastic to see how all those different fabrics come together.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics...and I have been contemplating joining in...of course that would mean I need to find some fabric quickly and get sewing! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHappy new blog! I have a new one, too. I really love your color choices. Such a good variety of black and whites!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking blog. Good job. I went out on Saturday and purchased a darker grey more like yours. It will be interesting to see how much alike/different our quilts are in the end.
ReplyDeleteYour zesty lime greens look gorgeous and I love your grey 4-patches. Welcome to blogland. I started my blog only a week or so ago after a few years hiatus. I love looking at everyone's progress on the mystery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments everyone. It is really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new blog - it's lookin great - as are your blocks - and you're not alone - my 'grey' is really black in disguise! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what everyone has pulled out for the background and their choice for constant! Thank you for sharing yours, Sharyn
