I expect every Bonnie Hunter quilt to be a test of endurance. If you want a quick quilt, don't attempt one of her mysteries. I do them to use up my scraps. Not the nice strips and ironed squares, but the raggedy unironed wads of fabric that I save but don't really want to deal with. Bonnie's quilts force me to make something useful out of scraps and crumbs that a lot quilters would toss in the trash. To me, this is a form of green quilting, and I feel good about the free quilts I get from my junk fabric.

It's beautiful. The colors are very soothing.
/What a stunning quilt. I love the colors you used. This really caught my eye! I bet it was a lot of work with all that piecing! Looks like you did a beautiful job.
Whoop! Whoop!! :D Way to go. Yours is so very pretty.
I really like this - and I also really like your philosophy about green quilting! I'm still not willing to take on a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt but I do enjoy looking at them. Yours is spectacular!! Whoop whoop!!
I totally agree with your assessment of a Bonnie Hunter quilt being a test of endurance. I didn't know that, NOW I do!! Yours turned out wonderful. I'm still plugging along on mine. I too feel like you about it being a good use of scraps, but oh so much sewing of small pieces -- and a million OF THEM!
