Bonnie's mystery kicked off and two clues have been released!
Here is the Scrumptious pile of fabrics I am going to be using.
My substitutions are as follows:
- for yellow, the orange paisley and solid
- for green, the lime print and solid
- for orange, the red print and solid
- for blue, the aqua print and solid
And I've really no idea why I didn't make this easy on myself and make orange equal orange. But I didn't and since the fabric requirements are different, I'll just need to deal with it! (smile) I am using the ziplocks to keep myself organized.
With my color substitutions, the first clue used the yummy aqua and red and cream. I got a bit delayed on getting this one done because although Bonnie recommended the use of the Tri Rec ruler, I never bought one until her clue published where it was clear I really did need that ruler!! I see many future uses so am glad to have it.
I decided to make half of the of block required for the small. At reveal time, I can decide it I will make it bigger or not.
Clue 2 is all about chevrons. These used my orange, lime and neutral. I decided to make this batch all the same combo of fabrics. I made 39 of these so far - and have another 11 to go to get to 1/2 of the small block requirement..
You can find instructions to clue 1 and clue 2 on Bonnie's blog. I will be linking my progress up on her blog.
Are you playing along?
Happy Stitching!
I am so very tempted to start this as a part of my fabriholics projects for next year, especially after I keep seeing the amazing results of the project from last year and progress being made on this one. Your blocks look great and I think it was a great idea to not sub orange for orange -- your way keeps the color balance the same where if you had done it the other way it may not have. Great progress and I look forward to watching your quilt evolve.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty... I'm printing out the clues for this one as it looks really interesting so far. It is so fun to see all the variations!
ReplyDeleteI am chugging along with the small one...define small anyway...188 of this 100 of that...maybe I should have done a smaller version yet! I am almost behind already!

ReplyDeleteI really like your color selection as it feels very fresh and modern. I'm already behind, and am piecing at a snail's pace. Hey, maybe I should get off the computer and sew--LOL!
