I.love.this.reveal. I wouldn't have imagined this layout in a thousand years! Since the HSTs are used for the border I'm going to have to do a bucket load more or go with something else. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Wildyard -- those of us who have done Bonnie's quilts in the past are prepared for this and more -- like a clue a day for several days before the reveal. My first was Easy Street and it took me a year to get the assembly done and I was only doing a 1/3rd size. My brain doesn't do puzzles well, and these often seem like puzzles to me. But I've learned to take it one step at a time and follow her directions to a "T". But I've found if I work on it for a day or two, then come back to it a few days later, I don't get as frustrated. And it is always worth the satisfaction of doing a quilt I would never do on my own.
