Bonnie Hunter "Easy Street" thread?

Here are my first two blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]386159[/ATTACH]
This is my first quilt with such little pieces and I am really enjoying it. I love all of the colour ways I've seen so far I think you could do some really pretty quilts with this pattern. It's also my first Bonnie Hunter quilt and I'm definitly going to try more of her quilts. I have done the 4 small triangles and 1 big triangle so this may take a while but I'm taking my time with it between another mystery quilt and a wall hanging I'm working on.

So with kids visiting for Christmas and all THAT... I actually finished sewing all the sections.
4 corners = 80 pieces
12 tri's = 444 pieces
16 Block A = 1,232 pieces
9 Block B = 621 pieces
Total pieces = 2,377
It's to big for any wall I have to pin it up on so here is 1/4. It measures 46" square. My colors are purple, red, mustard, cream, and brown Batiks. I love it! Maybe tomorrow I can fix a spot to pin the whole thing up, make sure I like my block placements, and sew her up. I'm not sure on borders. I think my brown will be one. I have a great plan for my back. My sweet QB friend (Fraew) is helping me design it, and I need to purchase more cream as I used nearly every scrap of the 14 different FQ's I bought.

OMG SheriR, what a great fall quilt that will make! So gorgeous! Congratulations on being almost done! I think the brown would be perfect for the first border as it will nicely bring out the brown squares and frame the quilt.
I finally finished Step 7, and laid out Block A on my display wall. It took me forever to get just one laid out. I kept looking at the photo, then choosing my pieces, then rechecking the photo to make sure everything was going in the right direction. I need to cut the purple squares, then I can start sewing it together tomorrow. I'm hoping after I get one done, it will go faster with the others!

@SheriR: I want that! It's so pretty. High 5 girl!
@JeanieG: You and I seem to be on the same pace. I finally finished step 7 and just laid out 1 of each of the blocks. Look at picture, select a block; look at picture, select a block and repeat. I have never felt so quilt challenged in my life. Whew! Time for bed.
These are really gorgeous. So fun sharing this experience with you all.

Sheri, FANULOUS! I love love the warmth your quilt radiates! These are my favorite colors! Can't got wrong with red, yellow and brown! Can't wait to see the whole thing.
I get to shang out some more on Easy Street today..hopefully I can out a few blocks together,

Quilt addiction....I like the way your A block looks. You've turned the half square triangle to go out instead of in but I think it's a happy accident. It gives an entirely new look!
I laid out my blocks on the floor and have the placement as good as I can get it and can start assembly any time. Have a couple of other projects with deadlines but want to get this together before it becomes a UFO. I'm planning to do Bonnie's next mystery quilt in Quiltmaker. I like her process.

Anyway. I plan on starting at the top left corner. I'll sew tri/block/tri and add the corner. I think I'll sew all the rows then sew the rows together, again starting at the top. I can't sew it until tonight because I must drive to the city and meet Princess. She goes back to college tomorrow so we've got an afternoon planned of shopping girly fun!
Oh and I have to fix three little 4patches as they seem to be turned the wrong way...How did THAT happen...

Love it SheriR!
@xtgirl: I struggled with what to do with the tris. I wish I had waited to do them after my blocks so I would know which way to sew them up. Having said that, my tris are done but I have no shame in taking them apart after I finish my blocks.
