As soon as I read this post by Bonnie Hunter I was off and racing, pulling out all my reds, greens, blues and greens in anticipation for Easy Street - this year's mystery QAL.
Friday night saw me auditioning neutrals - paring it down from 39 dark and 20 light neutrals to12 light neutrals for Bonnie's black on white fabrics and the darker fabric with the spots in the picture below as Bonnie's grey.
Saturday saw me cutting strips and scraps for some power sewing and cutting....
Today saw me sewing forty nine four square patches. When I saw the strips shown up yesterday, I wasn't quite sure about the colour combo, but after seeing them as four patches, I realised I like them....a lot!
So tonight I'm pinning twosies in anticipation of finishing all the four patches before the second step is posted next Friday.
Updated Monday 7.25pm.....I've just linked up my progress at the Easy Street Link Up Monday. I'm really looking forward to seeing who else has linked up and their progress over a bowl of Goan curry, which is just about ready to come out of the oven.....
will be fun watching this grow.....

Great job! I really like your color choices and will be following along to see you progress.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, can't wait to see more progress!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun seeing your progression. Lovely little 4 patches.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how your colors look! I am also venturing off the written color scheme.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and 4 patches. Is this your first Bonnie mystery?
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I am using a neutral as my grey also.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors! This is so much fun, I'm also doing neutrals. Happy Quilting!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see some different colour choices - it adds to the fun.
ReplyDeleteYour color combination is very appealing. I'm curious--you referred to pinning the twosies. I just matched them at the seamline and sewed....I don't pin if I can avoid it.
ReplyDeleteNice color choices. I chose to go with Bonnie's picks as picking colors for a quilt is my weak spot. Look forward to seeing this develop.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! It's great seeing other colorway choices.
ReplyDeleteNice fabric choices! love seeing so much variety in the quilts!
ReplyDeleteLOL - I watch my favorite Christmas shows whilst pinning my 'twosis' as well, helps make it go much faster and I LOVE the security of those little silk pins! Same for the 'spinning' of the center block seams, got caught up on ALL my Christmas shows complete w/Charlie Brown's Christmas ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour color and fabric choices will be so much FUN to watch as they evolve into your quilt...lookin' forward to it...
Happy Quiltin'
