Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017 - En Provence
#552
Flea markets and antique malls are where I most commonly see them. Sometimes the belts are gone, but you can buy a replacement pretty cheaply. Just make sure the machine has it's shuttle or bobbin case and some bobbins (depending on the model). Those can be harder to come by than a belt! If you turn the handwheel and everything moves smoothly, you've probably got a good one.
Givio, I found the avatar online. I don't think it's fabric...
Fraew, your quilt is going to be amazing in those beautiful batiks.

Thanks for the link. Signed up for their newsletter. Love how they have put Bonnie Hunter bundles together. I really enjoyed dreaming about their Civil war bundles. Would love to do a Bonnie Hunter mystery in the CW someday.

NZquilter, if you can ever make it to SD - I'll send you home with a treadle - or 2 LOL!! I'm trying to get my collection to a more reasonable number (I've got over 150 sewing machines now).
I was wondering about the neutrals also - got a bit worried but then I discovered I have more yardage of four of the six neutrals I picked out.

If you buy the neutral bundle from Whittles pay attention to how it says you won't get what's pictured. I got 2 white on white fabrics (a swiss dot, and a heart dot), one light purple print that read light purple from a distance, one dark tan with too much black print to suit me, one print with cranberry flowers that was too dark to suit me, and a novelty kid's print. 6 of the 12 I didn't want and won't use for this project.

Thank you givio for the warning. It's a reminder that I'm too OCD to let someone else pick my fabrics. My fabric store is a short walk away and the prices are very good as well. I will probable have enough neutrals but I going to pick up some more. I'd rather introduce the new ones now than wait until later.
Thank you everyone who suggested links on alternative way to make this block. I was finally able to make the right size square.
