Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt - 2014

This is what I have finished so far.  I have decided not to use the sashing that were made because when I put the greens up against the blocks --- well they just looked terrible.

I would like to know if I should use a medium to light grey to sash these blocks.  I'm thinking that if I do use grey it will made this quilt less busy.  What do you think?

Blocks finish 12" and I'm planning on 4 across and 5 down.with grey sashing and a boarder this should be a nice sized quilt to cuddle with.

Elephant Parade Top - Finished

Just finished this top today.  Love how it looks.  It took me awhile to complete with all the small pieces but I am very happy with the outcome.

Sorry the colours are not as bright as they are in person.

I'm hoping my friend will quilt this on her longarm because my quilting is still a work in progress.  One day!!!

Will be showing this off at my guild meeting.

Elephant Parade - getting there!!

Elephant Parade is nearing the finish line.  Six more babies, a bird, stitch down the eyes, quilting and binding to do. 

This is 1 of 25 of Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion

a quiltville mystery - 2014

I used a lot of scraps but controlled the double diamond units.

Quilt will finish around 88 x 88.  

This is for my sister who lives in Oshawa and she doesn't know it's coming.

Hope she likes it.

Linking up with Let's Bee Social over at Sew Fresh Quilts.

I attended a four day mystery quilt at my local fabric shop. The blocks are not sewn up as yet.
I am working on that today and tomorrow will do the rows.  This was a fun filling 4 days with a great group of ladies.  May do it again this year.

Love the colours.
