Step #1 of Bonnie's mystery is finished. It was very mindless and relaxing cutting and sewing...perfect for this time of year to calm down at the end of a long day, while you try not to think of all the things you have to do in the next 3 weeks. (Maybe I should be doing some of those things instead of sewing, eh?!?!)
Here is my pile of 192 "Twosies" blocks. It almost looks like a fabric Christmas tree!And here are some of the twosies and 4 of the 104 HST's which went together quickly and accurately using the Easy Angle ruler...loved it!
As I was sewing these blocks I felt a little bit concerned about my combination of greens. Some of them are blueish greens and some are so yellowy. Usually I wouldn't put these greens together in a quilt, but they looked so nice and friendly laid out at the beginning. Time will tell I guess! I used to get my knickers in quite a knot over the fabric selections, but since doing mysteries with Bonnie I am more comfortable making strange/unique choices and believing that somehow it will all work out in the end! Hmmm...perhaps a life lesson there?!?

I think your fabrics look fantastic together! It is going to be a beautiful quilt. :-)
I love your fabrics, too, Kathy. It's looking great so far.
Kathy, I love your colors! Such cheerful, bright, yummy colors. Isn't this fun? I am behind, already...not a race though...right?
Love the colour choices. They look great together
Love and hugs Gina xxx
