Finally finished my version of Easy Street
 

Here it is - my version of Easy Street. This is not my favorite quilt I've ever made; I should have followed my instincts and used a solid instead of the black & white fabrics. Live and learn! I'm sure one of my nieces will enjoy it.

Nice lots of colour

I love the colors. Great Quilt

I have begun to put mine together. It has been a very interesting pattern~I need to finish mine. Your color choices are great! Love your version!

Oh, I like your arrangement much better than the original -- and your colour scheme. I have all of the components together and am now squaring them up. Then the "fun" of putting it together. I went with Bonnie's colour scheme and so far hate it. But it's been a good learning experience.

I think it turned out great. You have the same problem I have when it comes to letting someone else choose my colors.

The colors look great to me.

I think it looks great! Whoever gets this quilt will love it!

I love the colors and I think one of your neices would treasure it! I need to get busy on mine I am on step 8 but have only put 1 big block together :o

Beautiful. love the colors.

This looks anything but "Easy". Beautiful job.

Love your fabric choices. Nicely done.

I set mine on point and used the as close to the exact colors as I could. I like your arrangement and colors much, much better. I think it looks much better.

I really like your version of easy street. I had to stop working on mine because of the holidays and then I made an applique quilt that I had to finish so I am really behind on finishing it but now that I see Bonnie's finished results I don't care for the lime green. I like the teal and the purple but I have been trying to decide which other color would take its place. Any suggestions would be helpful. Great job on your quilt.

you did a great job

I LOVE THAT QUILT. Can I have it?:D lol. I think it is just wonderful. you did a great job.,

Looks great to me!

Thanks so much!

That's how I look at it too. It was my first Bonnie mystery so I wanted to stick with her choices and I did for the most part. I just couldn't do the lime green. I did feel like I learned a lot from it; I conquered the Easy Angle and Companion rulers and learned I could make accurate flying geese without having to cut them down after.

I design most of my own patterns, and this quilt showed me how important it is to take pressing issues into account when you're planning a design, especially if a beginner might use the pattern. My quilter had quite a time with this quilt because of the seam intersections, mostly where the geese met. Normally if I had multiple geese I would paper piece them, but because this was a mystery quilt we didn't know in advance what went with what.

Good luck to everyone trying to finish their versions - you can do it!

And thanks so much for all the kind words.

I love it and one of your nieces will also. When I do something that doesn't turn out quite as I envisioned I try to just look at it as a learning experience!

Congrats on completing yours and it is just beautiful!! Whoever gets the quilt will absolutely love it!!

Beautiful quilt!!!!

Very pretty. Love your colors!

Congrats on your finish!! I'm still working on mine..

Awesome quilt!

Thanks so much, everyone!

Lovely! What a colorful quilt!

I beg to differ. I really like the effect of the B&W in this quilt. So happy and jumpin'. Love it.
peace

I like it!!!!

I like it! I think that the black and white just "adds to it."

I made Easy Street also and posted pictures in that thread. Also was not sure about the lime green and using that black and white. I thought it was too busy, but I stayed the course - made me work outside my comfort zone color wise. What I really like now is seeing the other colors used. Shows me that any colors would have looked good, just like Bonnie said and next time (yes, I am hooked and will participate again) I will work from my stash and choose colors I am more comfortable with.

Other pluses, I learned to use the easy angle and companion angle and I had never worked with flying geese that small.

Also, I like seeing yours done without borders. I think I am going to have to go that route. Otherwise, it will be too wide for my quilt frame. I have learned that I am one who thinks a quilt is not complete without a border so I am struggling with this. Seeing yours confirms that this one does not need that border so I just need to "git-r-done" so that I can mark it off my list. Thanks for sharing!

WOW - Gorgeous, terrific job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

I agree about my comfort zone - anything that makes me step outside it is good. Even if I don't like the results, it helps your creative juices flow and find what you do like.

I agree completely about the easy angle and companion angle. I use them all the time now, thanks to Bonnie.

I'm glad you like it without the border. I've been into that style lately and it works well in a lot of situations.

I'm looking forward to seeing yours finished!

I pretty much agree with the above, but I am determined to complete this quilt as I have many hours already put into it. Thank for posting your photos very nice I like the dark outline of the blocks. :)

I rather like the black. It defines the blocks. Nice job.

Looks really nice--I'm still plugging away at it a little bit every day. It will take me forever!

Wow! I think it's wonderful. I love the colors.
