Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017 - En Provence

gee, the final clue. Rats Doing quarter size I should have something to show later today.
I have both my 365 blocks finished. I haven't cut my sorted material yet, I'm digging in my string buckets.
I need more scraps!

I had the same thoughts--this pattern is so large, I am not sure how a 1/2 unit (in number, not size) will look??? I will work on assembling what I have, but I am thinking it will need to be full size to look right, so I will have lots of more units to make too! What do you all think??

I'm not crazy about all the neutral 4 patches around the border, so I might fool around with eliminating the outer border and doing something else... or nothing.

The more I think about the 3 x 3 (4x4 of the magenta stars) it would finish roughly 60 x 60 w/ a little extra border would fit a double bed. I would need to make a few extra but not ooodles and it would be a good size for what I need for a quilt.

3x3 will come out at 69" square, if you do that second 4 square border past the star points. I am not doing that border so mine should come out at 63" square, unless I add a small border before I bind it. That's a fine size for me.
I keep looking at the colors and just don't feel happy. The green just disappears in the quilt. I like yellow, just not with pink and purple. It looks like a white, pink/purple, and yellow quilt to me. I think I may skip the yellow since we haven't cut it yet, and just use some more green, at least for the big squares she has you cutting in 4's. I can't think of any other color to sub that will work there and make me happy. I'll keep thinking on it, tho.

That neutral 4 patch in the center of the big block is giving my OCD brain vapor lock!!!! That star / square (the whole big one) is so symmetric throwing that odd ball off kilter center is just killing me. I am going to change that to maybe a nice centered square in a square.
