Easy Street Mystery Quilt...

Quote for the Day:

On Friday, Bonnie Hunter revealed the first step/clue for her new mystery quilt "Easy Street".  Since we had family in last week for Thanksgiving, I wasn't able to jump in and get started till Sunday afternoon after everyone had left.

As soon as we got the house back in order, though, I headed straight for my sewing room and stayed there till bedtime!  A whole week had gone by since I was able to sew or quilt and I think I was starting to go into withdrawals!  LOL

This is what I got accomplished so far...


 ...60 of the 192 four-patches that are required!   (Actually, there are more strips and four-patches sewn together and in the sewing machine right now, but these are all that have been separated and pressed so far.)  These are shown in stacks of 10...that's how I keep track!  I will continue to make these this week so that, hopefully, I will have all 192 done by the time the next clue comes out on Friday of this week!  :)

I'm linking this post up to Bonnie's site, so I'm keeping this post short and sweet and will do another post about the family's visit sometime soon.

  3. Love your fabric choices. I don't have a lot of the brighter tones that she gave for yardage so I decided to go with what I had in my stash. For these 4 patches I used dark brown and cream/beiges. BTW...I just ran on to your blog this morning and love it. I live in KY and hubby is a nurse! :)

    Have a wonderful and Blessed day
