Bonnie Hunter has started her annual mystery adventure! I have been eagerly sewing along with her mysteries for years and really enjoy this process of creating quilts.
This year's project is called "Old Town" and Bonnie's suggested colour combination is red, aqua, pink and neutrals. I am doing my version in navy, green, medium blue, and neutrals. The majority of my quilt is being made from Camille Roskelley's Shoreline fabrics. I just love this colour combination and bought 2 charm packs and yardage of my favourite prints. I will be adding in some stash scraps and lots of additional neutrals as we go along.
I enjoy sewing these units, so it went quickly for me this week. And as I was sewing along, I used some of the generated scraps to make a leader-ender County Clare block. It's not part of the mystery, but it's fun to make some leader-ender blocks too.
I have already finished step #1 in the greens.Here is what a squadron of flying geese look like! It's quite a pile!
I am excited to see what step #2 will bring today!
Are you sewing along with the "Old Town" mystery adventure??

LOVE your colors for the mystery this year. Interrestingly those are the colors that I have the most of in my scraps ~ blues, greens, and neutrals. I will be sewing along with the colors Bonnie suggested this year. I can't wait to see where your colors land. Happy sewing. That's a super fun leader/ender unit!
You picked a fabulous color palette for the mystery. I'm sewing along this year too. This will be my 13th mystery with Bonnie. Of course not all of them are finished. I'm hoping to remedy that next year.
I am changing the Red to Purple of course and Coral to pink. I need to stitch. I cut out the first part before family came. They fly home on Monday. I like the muted tones of your palate.
Those are really pretty colors, Kathy! Looks like you've made good progress already. Enjoy!
Love your color choices. I'm saving the instructions. Until the new year. I have to finish two quilts for Christmas. They both are almost ready to quilt.
I just started my blocks for this mystery a bit late. Your colours are great. Looking forward to watching your next post.
