I'm not one for walking into a class, quilting or college, and not knowing what I am getting into. I don't do well with any kind of surprise. So I study ahead of time, make the quilt ahead of time. Then I can identify areas to question the instructor.

So I'm signed up for a Bonnie Hunter class, her last class of the year in Shipshewana in November. The pattern is Smith Mountain Morning. I've made two so far. As for Bonnie's mystery quilts, a lot of them are UFOs and I will have to revisit them.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]618000[/ATTACH]This is the favorite set of colors; purple and green. The one with the nightmare pieced border. And of course there is a mistake....who can spot it now that it's done?

This one is the first one I made. I avoided the pieced border like the plague. Don't know what got into me, but I put the brown and blue one in a show/sale and it sold.

Both are lovely! I did not notice your mistake at first. Then, once I knew to look, took me awhile to find it!

Upper left corner block is turned?

Beautiful quilts... can't believe you've made two already!

I absolutely love that green and purple quilt it just sparkles to me. I have never made a Bonnie Hunter quilt nor would I just to many pieces for me. I seem to get bored easily the older I get. If it can't hold my attention it winds up a permanent UFO. Very happy for you that you were able to sell the first one, Good job!

They both look great!

Both of these are so lovely and daring to make before hand. I love them.

Lovely quilts. I like the purple/green combo the best and that border is awesome!

Wow, two made up before the class? You should ask Bonnie is she needs volunteer "teach-aids"! They are both lovely! Which color way are you planning to use on the class quilt?

I've got enough time and an overfilled tub of red. What about a red one? There is an example of a red one with piano keys border on Pinterest.

Both are amazingly beautiful. Hard to believe you made both of them.
