Sometimes I need to be challenged.
Jo Kramer at Jo's Country Junction issued a challenge to finish a Bonnie Hunter UFO before the first clue of the new mystery is revealed on Black Friday. I accepted.
While Celtic Solstice and Smith Mountain Morning await completion, I have opted to finish Easy Street for the challenge since it is the one most nearly finished.

| Easy Street - Blocks ready to sew together |
Bonnie's mystery from two years ago, Easy Street has to be my LEAST favorite BH ever! In fact, I disliked it so much that it languished in my project box for two years and almost ended up in the dumpster. But when I realized that I had enough pieces and parts assembled for a small version, and the rest cut, I decided it was worth finishing for a comfort quilt. Somebody out there will like it.
All that remains are the inner and outer borders.

| Easy Street - auditioning borders |
So far I have pieced together the inner borders. Just need to measure before attaching. The outer borders need to be pieced and applied. I'm sure I have something I can throw together for a back and then it probably will go to the comfort quilt collection at our guild.
Anybody out there need leftover units? First one to contact me can have them. I never want to see lime green and turquoise together again!
I'm linking up with Jo and the others who have accepted the challenge.
Libby, I didn't like mine until I put the borders on it. It's at the quilter's now. At least you will get credit for yardage out when you turn it over to the guild. lol

I could tell right away that the colors Bonnie chose for Easy Street were NOT going to be happy ones for me either. I tend to adjust the colors and use primary rather than secondary colors for her mysteries. Mine still hasn't been quilted up though. Wonder if I have time to take up that challenge and finish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, I loved the colors you picked.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your leftovers, if no one else has claimed them.
