Bonnie Hunter’s Frolic quilt
In 2019 I worked on Bonnie’s mystery quilt “Frolic” but set it aside as life got busy. I am trying to finish it up but I am missing Part (or clue) 3. Does anyone still have her instructions for that quilt and would be willing to share Part 3 with me? If so, please PM me. Thank you so much.

Well, I searched all over for it but can't seem to locate it anywhere. Maybe you could email Bonnie & maybe she would be kind enough to provide it for you.
Or, maybe you could email this man & ask him. He seems to really like Bonnie's quilts.

If not, I did find a site that sells the digital pattern here:

Hope you can find help with some of these suggestions.

She is adamant about the patterns being pulled and going to the store.

Frolic is one of the BH mysteries I also didn't finish (along with both of my versions of Good Fortune). This post nudged me to get everything out and look it over.
I had not been pleased with my Frolic. I tend to get kind of obsessed with the paint chips and stick close to them, but after seeing other people's brighter looking Frolics -- speaking particularly of the dark reds I used -- I had entertained the idea of bringing in some brighter reds. But upon refreshing my memory, I see how hopelessly intertwined with same fabrics all of the block components are! I also remembered what fun I had working on it. I think those were the most intricate directions ever for a mystery, as far as same set components and setting things aside.
So I'm thinking I won't try to revise any of the blocks, but possibly can insert some brighter reds into borders.

SusieQOH, I can't believe you took your Frolic apart after all that work putting it together!!!! (It looked really nice to me -- p. 140 in the archive thread, if anyone else is interested).
I do think BH's quilts look their best in photos, where the pattern is clear and one isn't overwhelmed by all the little pieces.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I know, all that work, right? Oh well, I'm not concerned today. I'll deal with it when I'm ready haha!!
