Easy Street, Part 3

Here is some of part 3 of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt....
The turquoise is Ricky Tims dyed fabric I bought over 5 years ago...
I bought fabrics with the jewel colors when I attended one of his seminars in early 2007...
So I will be using some of them in this quilt.

I am glad Bonnie said to test a block first.....the first one was not correct....
It is a tricky little block that is for sure.....
glad I didn't chain all that I have cut and have it be way off!!
I am wondering if I pressed correctly....I pressed toward the white with black
and maybe I should have pressed toward the purple square?

For those who haven't started yet....jump in...it's fun!!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Easy Street, Part 2

 I am doing the mystery quilt with Bonnie Hunter of quiltville.com...
part 2 is the purple geese and I am using the squares method to make the geese....
 I finished all 192 of the 4 patches and most of them are piled in this box!
I used 7 different white with black with the gray for these on part 1...
and so far I have used 4 different white with black for part 2.....
Here are some of the fabrics I am using to make this quilt.....
I just love jewel colors....they make me happy!
Anyone still wanting to start this quilt.....it's not too late to download the directions from her site and get started...
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Easy Street - Part 1

 So I decided to do the Easy Street mystery quilt.  This will be my first one!
Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville gave the first clue last Friday.
On Sunday I decided to do it and checked her site for the info.
There she was having a quilt cam session so I had my iPad on my cutting table cutting away
and listening to Bonnie!  The gray is dimples fabric.
Photos are work in progress.  There will be 384 2" twosies.
I
Then the twosies are turned into 192 4-patches.

Tomorrow she will post the next part.
I am linking up to her site where everyone is showing their progress.
It's not too late to follow along or at least print out the directions to do later.

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
