Easy Street Part 1

 I have my strips cut and have begun sewing! 

I think my solid gray is going to work out just fine. I was a little concerned but like the results. 

Bonnie Hunter has a neat way to show you how to have your seam allowances 'twirl' on the back. I tried it and it works great! To find out more about this pattern, click HERE! My color choices are in my  previous post.

Easy Street Mystery Quilt!

 I decided to try doing Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt one more time. So far, I've never seemed to have  gotten past Clue 1 or 2 in other years, or just gathering the fabrics. She suggested using paint chips for the colors IF you wanted to follow her color scheme, which I did. So, searching in my stash, here are the turquoises and aquas that I came across.

 Purples and violets!

 More purples with a touch of periwinkle it seems.

 Lots of limey green which I do like!

 These were my grays before I went by the quilt shop to get a color that worked better. I had some really light gray but nothing that I thought would work.

And now I'm trying a solid gray......I don't do solids much so we'll see. Guess I've been quilting so long that I remember the excitement when we got away from solids - lol!

And some black and white prints. Some others in my small group are doing this also so I think it will be fun. I cut some strips for step 1 so am ready to get started!
