I did Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt for the first time. Top is all pieced and ready for the machine quilter. I used Bonnie's suggested color choices so it is a little outside my comfort range. I am thinking of gifting it to my 18 year old DGD if she likes it.

Very bright and pretty! Nice work.

Very pretty quilt! I like the bright colors! Please show again after quilted.

I am not sure that I will live long enough to get mine done. Have all the broken dishes done for prt 1, 37 units done for part 2, and 11 completed units for part 3. UGH!
I consoled myself with the thought that well, this is my first Bonnie Hunter quilt, then you come along and say this is your first and you have the whole shebang completed. Thanks a bunch.
Sour grapes over, you did a great job on a difficult quilt, (MHO), and your fabrics are really perfect.

Stunning with all those little HST. Love the pastel look of the quilt.

merrylouw 01-12-2015 02:47 PM

I really love the pastels and pinks in your quilt. It's a neat pattern. Great job!

WOW a lot of work. Great gift for DGD

Gerbie 01-13-2015 04:28 AM

Well LilaKay, if your GD doesn't like it or want it, pm me and I will send you my address. Beautiful quilt. I really like the colors and design. You did great!!

ladydukes 01-13-2015 05:52 AM

Great job! I worked on mine "out of order" for clues. I made clue 1, then clue 4 and 5, then went back to clue 3 and just finished up clue 2 except sewing the 2-patch chevrons together. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have made the decision regarding how I want to assemble it - according to Bonnie's design or similar to one of the other many layouts that has been posted.

Karen G 01-13-2015 06:00 AM

Love it! I am a first timer with Bonnie's mystery too. I am working on an extra border and hope to finish soon.

Texas_Sue 01-13-2015 06:05 AM

I think your DGD will like it very much -- if not I'm up to be adopted - LOL!

sewnsewsue 01-13-2015 06:22 AM

Wow, your quilt looks great. I did this mystery too but did not get the color cards. My yellow was too golden and pinks too red. My blocks were truly ugly but the grass green check border made it incredibly awful. I will do something else with all the blocks maybe sash them diagonally. I will make the border pieces into 4 patches. So many of you have made such lovely quilts, I was not one of you. Really pretty, great job!

Linda1 01-13-2015 06:25 AM

I have one block done but I have not even cut all the pieces yet. I just did enough to complete one block. You did good.

LadyElisabeth 01-13-2015 07:26 AM

Very well done, interesting use of color.

MargeD 01-13-2015 10:18 AM

I'm sure she'll love it.

northern lass 01-13-2015 10:51 AM

Like your quilt. Colours are great

FabStripper 01-13-2015 11:25 AM

Beautiful quilt. I keep seeing something different every time I look at this.

mimiknoxtaylor 01-14-2015 04:04 AM

I did this BH mystery too. I'm making good progress but no where finished. I love aqua & pink but even for me this was rather busy. I'll be thrilled to get it finished but think I'll stick to doing Judy's train mysteries here on QB.

JeanLowe 01-14-2015 05:09 AM

Please could some one tell me where I can find this pattern. thank you

shayarene 01-14-2015 06:04 AM

where did you get the pattern? I don't understand when everyone talks about "mystery quilt"???? can someone help me to understand ? thank you

Mariposa 01-14-2015 06:08 AM

Sew pretty! Great fabrics~

mjhaess 01-14-2015 07:23 AM
