In just 12 days I am to take a Bonnie Hunter class. I've waited for about 3 years for this day to come and am a little nervous that I will totally make an idiot out of myself. Once in college I froze up during a statistics test and left the room in tears.

When I found out I had actually gotten into the class, I bought the book and began making the quilt. I just wanted to develop some skills and look like I knew what I was doing. I hated the finished product, so I put it in with some others in a sale and someone else liked it and bought it. (I'm not fond of dull blue and mediocre brown together.) So I felt that I should make another one. It turned out great as I had changed the colors to lavender and green, I had acquired some skills, and thing went much better.

It looked like I was on a roll. I saw another (Smith Mountain Morning) on Pinterest in red. Quilted Twins was offering a half yard bundle in red, so I made another. That made three but oh dear nothing to sew in the class. Since they are so much fun to make, I decided to make a green one.

Disaster! Since I was shopping in my stash, I had chosen two fabrics that clashed. And they were already cut out. Even though I am on the fabric moratorium, I was forced to make a quick trip to Zinck's in Ligonier. Now this one will have to be tarnished gold, greens with yellow/beige neutral.
