I finished making all the half-chevrons and HSTs today for Bonnie's mystery. I used the bonus triangle method, and still need to trim the dog ears on the HSTs. I will probably use my bloc loc ruler or Eleanor Burns method to remove the dog ears and square them up a little. Most of my HSTs are pretty close, but a few could benefit from some extra trimming.
I am very happy with the variety in my neutrals this year. I am usually scraping the bottom of the scrap basket to find something, but this year I picked up FQ neutrals as they went into clearance at the shop. Now I have an abundance of neutrals, as defined by Bonnie: anything lighter than a paper bag.
I was afraid at first to use green for this step since I used seafoam in the first clue, but by choosing darker and brighter greens, there will be enough contrast.

It sounds like a perfect idea to stay inside on a snow bound day and stitch away. Your Bonnie's mystery quilt has piqued my interest. I wonder what your quilt will look like when finished.....no doubt, it will look fabulous. =)
Your units look great! I wish I had a snow day to sew!
I hope the snow melts soon.
You have got a great variety of neutrals. And the greens are lovely too.
