I may be the only person left w/o a pintrest account. I hate that they make you sign in just to look.

Thanks for posting this. I love the Bonnie mysteries although I have not yet sewed one. Maybe it's time!

I printed out each clue and did it later on.

I like the idea of using paint chips to work out color combos. I"m going to remember that.

I have also printed the clue's/ directions for her mysteries. Have not made them yet but I do have the directions. Maybe someday I'll do 1/2 size.

I did the Celtic Soltice and it took me about 18 months--the key is to print out the directions and do a block or two (she usually has 2-3 blocks repeated)so that you have a chance to see if it works--you can always finish later. it was the first time that I really aimed to do a scrappy quilt and I loved the results. One thing that I don't like about the mystery is the suggestion to buy another ruler--but sounds like she's going to also include Accuquilt cutting directions--sure hope so as I have the triangle in a square die and others that may work--not sure about the easy Angle ruler, but do have the other one she mentioned.
