Everyone's blocks are looking ever so good. I decided to go back and finish Clue 1, then 2, then 3 etc. Otherwise I will get lost in the fabric explosion that has taken place in my sewing space.

Oh my I see I have hit 3500 posts. Don't know whether that is good or bad.

I got 12 of each block done but I have to trace an appliqué pattern before I have room for all of them on the design wall. My blue is really navy so the secondary pattern is showing up beautifully. I love it! I'll try to post a picture tomorrow when the light is better.

Love everyone's blocks! Thanks for posting pictures.

This was my first Bonnie Mystery. I hope I get more put together so I can post another picture before everyone stops visiting this thread. Was that our last/final clue?

This was fun. I assume she does this every year about the same time. If so, I'm in for next year!

Here are my first two blocks. A snafu is my colors in the pin wheel are reversed but I looked at the overall design and don't think it will make a difference. Yes I made every last one of them wrong. The colors are really much more vibrant than they show in the picture. I'm loving the way this quilt is going together.

Nellie: I just used Bonnie's method because it worked for me. There was another method mentioned that made two at a time by making the neutral 2.75 X 2 and placing the HST at opposite corners. This creates two of the light side when you cut them down the center. Then you just join them to a blue triangle. If you scan back to last Friday there is a web site mentioned. Hope this helps.

I got 3 of the star blocks sewn last night.
Realized this morning all three had mistakes.
Realized after I ripped and resewed...
Doh...If the blocks aren't stacked identically, you might think you had a 4 patch backwards.
The things you learn when you open your eyes.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to reverse the chevrons.
My star points don't stand out as much as I'd like but my colors are so pretty!

I'll get some images up when I've done some of the chevron blocks finished

Well just stopped by to see what everyone is up to. I didn't realize that the reveal was out. Wowzer there are some beautiful quilts that are going to come together. I have not started step 5 so cannot but anything together yet. I did different colors so I hope that they will show the design. I have been thinking my pinwheels don't have a good difference in value but hopefully they are okay.
