This is a Bonnie Hunter Pattern that I fell in love with. I do follow the Quiltville blog so see lots of BH quilts. I usually print the yearly Mystery quilt pattern, but have only made one (Chilhowee). Anyway, I love Bonnie's scrappy style, but I am not a really scrappy quilter. More of a "controlled" scrappy. I have a decent size stash, lots of it older fabrics. Mainly fat quarters, with a sprinkling of other sizes. I feel (and I realize that this is just me) that to really do well with Bonnie's patterns you need bins of scraps for the best variety. I had a pretty good stack of green fat quarters that I used for this, but mainly its maybe the same 15 or so prints throughout. That said, I do like how it turned out and everyone who has seen it is very impressed with it. It's a beast though at 84 x 84. What I like about this pattern is that it was easier than it looks (thanks to strip piecing) and that the pieces are small. The strips were cut a 1.5 inches. This quilt will go to a friend of my son's. He just bought a house so of course it needs a quilt.

I would say you had just the right amount of greens to complete this beautiful quilt. I’ve often looked at this quilt but haven’t jumped into it. Thanks for letting me know it’s not as difficult as it looks to be.
