Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street Mystery Update

It will take me awhile to get my blocks pieced, but the journey will be a lot of fun.  I have finished all the parts piecing and now can concentrate on the blocks.  The speedy quilters out there truly amaze me, and I love seeing the color-combination variations emerge from their efforts.


The values of the red and purple in my quilt make the B blocks appear very blocky.  I thought about changing some of the units and tried several variations in EQ7, but in the end I preferred the original choices.  Some of the other quilts I have seen have the blocky-looking B-blocks, and I really like them, so I'm sure I will love my finished quilt, AND I have only used stash fabric.  I may take out the dark green squares and use all medium-ish greens.

  5. Love your colors Fran! I think you're right about the dark greens - just use them in the outside corners of block B and stick to medium greens the block centers.

  9. Love the way this is coming along - I wouldn't change a thing. And don't sweat about moving at a slower speed than others - it's not a race - we all work to different timeframes. This is going to be really lovely - it is already.
