Quote for the Day:
"Seven days without quilting makes one weak"
~author unknown
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.

I really like your color choices! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh, and forgot to say....I love the quote at the top of your post! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove 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! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and Blessed day

Oooohhhh!! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery nice colors, I will enjoy watching this come together.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the purple in your 4-patches. Looking forward to step 2.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually "chocolate" brown. :)
