Old Town Mystery

Yes, I'm fully committed this time -- well, half-committed.  I am going small initially until I see where this is going.

Like I said earlier, Bonnie's colors really spoke to me.  So I went searching in the new "sewing annex" in the bedroom for possible fabrics, trying to avoid asking DH to bring piles up from the fabric shelves downstairs.  Indeed, I had a collection of fabric that I had pulled for another project that I have decided not to pursue.

Tula Pink's Fairy Dust is my focus/inspiration fabric.  I don't have enough of it to be the overall background fabric so I will supplement it with a solid light gray.  Aquamarine and soft orange will be my other two colors.

Clue 1 - I have most of the "wings" cut for half of the flying geese and four sets complete.  My goal is to finish one set each day.


Clue 2 - I toiled most of this morning and, amazingly, I am only 30 short of half the tiny 4-patches.  


You can see that my pieces will be scrappy.  I've had to dig deep to get enough soft orange.  I might need to go shopping!

  1. I have looked at the pattern for the first two sections and tempted to start but hesitating for some reason

  2. I love your soft orange! It's going to be pretty with the turquoise.

  3. Looks like you are having fun. My bird brain can't handle "mystery" quilts, I have to see what I'm making. Fairy Dust is one of my favorites, such a great focus fabric.

  4. Looks like you've got a good start. I'm way behind, but am hoping to catch up a bit this week.

  5. I love your fabrics! I still haven't started the second clue. I have a lot going on this week and hoping to catch up next week.
