This is a Bonnie Hunter Pattern that I fell in love with. I do follow the Quiltville blog so see lots of BH quilts. I usually print the yearly Mystery quilt pattern, but have only made one (Chilhowee). Anyway, I love Bonnie's scrappy style, but I am not a really scrappy quilter. More of a "controlled" scrappy. I have a decent size stash, lots of it older fabrics. Mainly fat quarters, with a sprinkling of other sizes. I feel (and I realize that this is just me) that to really do well with Bonnie's patterns you need bins of scraps for the best variety. I had a pretty good stack of green fat quarters that I used for this, but mainly its maybe the same 15 or so prints throughout. That said, I do like how it turned out and everyone who has seen it is very impressed with it. It's a beast though at 84 x 84. What I like about this pattern is that it was easier than it looks (thanks to strip piecing) and that the pieces are small. The strips were cut a 1.5 inches. This quilt will go to a friend of my son's. He just bought a house so of course it needs a quilt.
