Wow! All the quilts are looking fabulous! I think I got too JOYFUL in the choice of my neutrals even for Bonnie's standards. It is scrappy!!!! Pictures coming after I sew some of the rows together. Be warned! LOL

Everyone's quilts are looking wonderful! I am especially enjoying the different color ways. I haven't finished piecing mine and I am starting to think what other colors I would like. It's a great pattern!
I oopsed a block and didn't notice it until I had a row on so my seam ripper came out to play. All fixed now and ready to begin again. So glad I noticed it when I did and not till after it was quilted!

I am sewing rows together FINALLY!! But it is hard as there are so many seams that SHOULD match up----but lots of mine don't match very well. And I am finding lots of areas where my seams don't nest properly, mainly when the 4-patch units are across from each other in the rows. Not sure where I went wrong there, but am certainly not going to try to remedy those. More challenges!
Are you all going to try the scalloped edge???? I have never done one before but think I am going to try it on this one. Guess I can always rip it off if I mess it up!����

Here it is in all its scrappiest. [ATTACH=CONFIG]539539[/ATTACH]
How many rows are there in total?
Jeannie, I am finding un-nested seams as well. And it is mainly with the 4-patches. They are all pressed away from the black as Bonnie said to do so I must have misread pressing instructions on something else. I haven't decided if I want a scalloped border or not. In my mind's eye it doesn't seem to go with the quilt. But who am I to question Bonnie Hunter! LOL Four rows sewn together so far. Fun, Fun, Fun! Stopping for lunch and I need to get some fabric cut for guild tomorrow night. We are making an iron caddy.

AlvaStitcher, I absolutely love your scrappy neutrals. They make your quilt so much more interesting to look at and not so matchy-matchy. You have truly embraced the Bonnie method of scrap quilting!
