Bonnie Hunter's 2018-19 Mystery Quilt "Good Fortune"
#223

I’m going to print out the directions and then see what the reveal looks like before committing to this mystery. At least that is my story today! I did pull fabric from the stash but not sure I have the colors I want to use.

I started cutting and began to second guess myself. I had ordered the BHMQ package from Quilted Twins. Their reds were not fire engine red, but a variety of things that were red. So I put some of my fire engine reds in there. Hope I don't mess it up. Hopefully one of you will tell me if I do. I think I have half of it cut. How is everyone else doing?

I am so distressed. I was starting to cut and I heard a loud snap, and now my cutter won't cut, even with a new blade. I use the Martelli cutter, and this is the third one I have ruined this way. I guess I am pressing too hard. I can't use a conventional cutter due to arthritic hands, but maybe I'll get out my old Olfa and see if I can manage with it.

I'm trying to resist starting, until my sew group starts at 4 today. Not sure I'll make it ... I'm heading up soon to see if my scrap bag has any appropriate colour/size strips for this clue, before I cut the yardage bits I pulled.
