Last years I made into three or four 40" sq. wall quilts for my loft.
Celtic Solstice is also a couple of loft quilts

Kalama, You do such beautiful work, your colors are lovely.

Some great work ladies. I am saving all the clues and have all the fabric I need. I have just ordered the go cutter die for the 2in squares and I'm dying to start BUT... I want to finish my James Town Landing first. Happy sewing.

What do you think everyone? Should I wait a while to see how the rest go together?

I think the terra cotta works well. When my horses fabric didn't work and I had nothing in the stash to replace it with, I went to the store to get a replacement fabric and I toyed w/ the idea of a medium blue and doing a more mono chromatic look (light, med and dark blue, plus black and neutral) but I thought about her intriquite secondary and tertiary patterns, then looked at past finished quilts w/ good color definition the patterns just shown brilliantly, but when others had made less definite color choices those lost the intriquite secondary and tertiary patterning. I think this is the long winded way of saying I'd keep the terra cotta color.

FINALLY, I can join in the fun with the rest of you!! I tried really hard not to participate this year, but I caved. I'm a mystery quilt addict. My first Bonnie Hunter was Orca Bay, which remains a UFO. Easy Street is also a UFO. That one made me realize that I'm not very good at picking scrappy colors. I may finish that one someday. I made Grand Illusion for my sister, but when it was revealed, she didn't like it so I call it "Susie Didn't Like It". It'll go on my bed.

Here's what I've got so far this year: (Gotta go find out how to post pics.)
