After getting way behind (didn't even start until this past weekend), I am now all caught up on Bonnie's mystery. Thank goodness for some easy clues (esp. #5), and a link to a blog for strip piecing clue number 2.

It's fun seeing these speculations, but I'm sure glad I'm not the one who has to figure it out!

Colorfulom, I loved seeing your clue #1 units, any chance of seeing some of your other clues?

Sure! I forgot that I hadn't shared them here. Facebook, Instagram, Bonnie's link-up, but forgot to put them here. These are my finished pieces from clues 2, 3, and 4. I have the pieces for clue 5 sewn, but still need to press them.

do not sew anything by these guesses !


sure is fun sharing guesses
Definitely no sewing based on guesses!

I think the inner border might be yellow. Since most of us are using a constant yellow, it would be a good way to tie everything together and make for a pretty simple clue. And if I'm right about the 3" cornerstones, I'll guess that they're either black/neutral or blue/neutral.

Thank you, colorfulom. Fabulous!

I'm hoping for more aquas, too, whitepine, and especially with the neutrals. I loved that photo of the room with the aqua and white ceiling.

Kris: I am amazed you caught up in such a short amount of time. Didn't keep track of my time spent but am sure that I couldn't catch up in just a couple of days.
Samper & Wholeheart: Would like to try to, answer but only Bonnie knows, and as we all know, she ain't telling.
SewNSew: Welcome! Your in time for the reveal.

Kris- you're a machine for catching up so fast. I'm impressed.

Colorful on- gorgeous blocks. Very very pretty colors.

I've finished week three. I made 50 units. Approx half. Lol. I had to rip a bunch of them because I had the black squares in the wrong spot. I could have gotten further along with the mq but at least I found my error before I put the whole quilt together.

Looking at my greens I think a lot of them are too deep and not grassy enough. Oh well- I am going to keep grassier for any other greens. Not going to change them now.

Once eveything is done If the whole quilt makes those deeper greens look bad I may have to change out this weeks blocks for more grassy ones. Not that I want to redo it but if I have to I would. [ATTACH=CONFIG]503872[/ATTACH]
