I really like your version of easy street. I had to stop working on mine because of the holidays and then I made an applique quilt that I had to finish so I am really behind on finishing it but now that I see Bonnie's finished results I don't care for the lime green. I like the teal and the purple but I have been trying to decide which other color would take its place. Any suggestions would be helpful. Great job on your quilt.
lol. I think it is just wonderful. you did a great job.,

Oh, I like your arrangement much better than the original -- and your colour scheme. I have all of the components together and am now squaring them up. Then the "fun" of putting it together. I went with Bonnie's colour scheme and so far hate it. But it's been a good learning experience.
That's how I look at it too. It was my first Bonnie mystery so I wanted to stick with her choices and I did for the most part. I just couldn't do the lime green. I did feel like I learned a lot from it; I conquered the Easy Angle and Companion rulers and learned I could make accurate flying geese without having to cut them down after.
I design most of my own patterns, and this quilt showed me how important it is to take pressing issues into account when you're planning a design, especially if a beginner might use the pattern. My quilter had quite a time with this quilt because of the seam intersections, mostly where the geese met. Normally if I had multiple geese I would paper piece them, but because this was a mystery quilt we didn't know in advance what went with what.
Good luck to everyone trying to finish their versions - you can do it!
And thanks so much for all the kind words.
