Easy Street Without Borders

I'm not sure but this mystery seems so much bigger than Orca Bay. It feels massive,but is going to be wonderful to snuggle under once finished!! Truth time. When I first put together one of each block, I was not liking this mystery at all. I felt a bit dejected. If it had not been for another lady showing a picture of what part of hers looked like, I think I would have dragged my feet to finish this. I was loving what hers looked like, so I pushed forward and am quite happy with the way this came out. I am actually loving it.




I have now completed two tops and one quilt of Bonnie's design and I just love everything Bonnie does!! Thank you Bonnie Hunter for all your share with us. You have a fabulous, giving spririt. I am so glad I found you two years ago. You inspire me!!

You can find the mystery clues on Bonnie's Blog. Be sure to grab them in the next couple of months cause she wont keep them up forever.

Easy Street - Step 3

I managed to get this step completed. I procrastinated this week. Don't know why, but I did...LOL



I used greens in the place of Bonnie's Blues.

I also cut two 3in green blocks to make 4 triangles. Did you remember?
Here is a pic of all the little parts so far. I cant wait to see what this turns out looking like.


Be sure to hop over to Quiltville and check out the Step 3 linky party!

Part Two - Easy Street Mystery

I am actually keeping up this year with the mystery! Last year I got so frustrated on some of the steps that I just had to put the mystery away. Took me almost a year to finish Orca Bay! Not this year! I am bound and determined to get every step completed in the week it is presented. So with all that said here is the pile of my 2 x 3.5 in Flying geese. Where Bonnie chose to use purples, I have chosen blues!



Below is one each of the geese and the fabrics I chose to use. Don't they all look nice together?



I also cut the 64 2 x 3.5 black and white rectangles that Bonnie said would be used for the part 3 of the mystery and put them away with the other steps.

I am just about out of black and white fabrics for the background, so will have to go scouting this next weekend for more of them. I had hoped to not have to shop, but well shopping for fabric is what we quilters do, right?

The linky party for step 2 is up. Hop on over there and check out where everyone else is on their mystery.

Easy Street Mystery

Bonnie Hunter is at it again. A new mystery that is. It is called Easy Street and Bonnie says it is to be much easier than the past two mysteries.

I have yet to finalize my color choices for the mystery but did settle on the constant gray and the black and whites for the background fabrics. Part one was to make 192 4-patches that will finish 3 in.

Here is a picture of mine.


Bonnie is holding a linky party HERE. Go check out the color combinations others are using. We are off to a running start. I just hope I can keep up this year. Took me almost a year to finish Orca Bay...LOL

Can't wait to see clue two next Friday.

Have a great day everyone!
