    Very nice!
    Layed out like this is very beautiful!

    This is my first time being able to do Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt as it occurs, and I'm really enjoying the process. Since she's revealed 4 clues in 4 days, I realize I am seriously behind after thinking I was all caught up. I really love the reveal and can't wait to finish this up. In the meantime, I thought I would post what I've been able to accomplish so far. Really love everyone's colors and variety. Can't wait to see more pics of completed quilts.

    It seems like this quilt will be easier to assemble than En Provence was.

    NZquilter, that looks very pretty. The star points certainly show more this way, so it looks like a totally different block.

    Girlfriend, I think you're going to have great clarity in the design with those fabric values. Beautiful!

    Wow, Macybaby, how in the world did you finish all 50 blocks, plus the same in other colors. I'm impressed.

    Very pretty Girlfriend! With this rapid fire it is hard to keep up. All my units are finished but I need to do my blocks now and didnt work on it at all yesterday.

    I played around a bit with the blocks, and decided I prefer it with aqua as the corner stone instead of brown. With that change, I think I'm OK with what I've got and will start putting them together. I think it de-emphasis that spot, which allows the eye to see the larger diagonal better. With the brown, it's like the eye stops, and then the brain tries to see a pattern there, and there isn't really one so it gets confuses, well at least my brain gets confused!

    I came to that conclusion too, but it was too late. I already have 2 rows sewn and a bunch of brown cornerstones in place, and I don't want to change them. But if I were to do it over, I'd use my blues as the cornerstones.

    Boy is my quilt ever orange!

    Gosh, all the progress is amazing. Sewbiz, your color choices look fantastic together. Love the orange with pop of blue. I vote to keep that back fabric. It's perfect & fun! Miss Rita - beautiful! Purple, brown & aqua pair nicely together. That's a keeper for sure! Girlfriend & Jane, love your blocks as well. I better get busy and finish some clues today.
