Scrappy Trips
Another Bonnie Hunter freebie. I had bunches of 2-1/2" strips of batik scraps already cut, so decided to try this pattern. Ended up making it queen size.

Celtic Solstice Mystery
It's time for another Bonnie Hunter mystery. These are my fabrics. I am using a variety of off-white tone-on-tones for my neutrals. My other colors are coral, teal, lime, and purple. MY GRANDDAUGHTER, SARAH EMILY, WANTED ME TO BE SURE AND LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THIS ONE IS FOR HER!! So I will be adding borders to make it large full size.
We received Part 1 this morning. I have a Christmas quilt I have to get quilted and in the mail ASAP, so I have not started on the mystery but I do plan to have something ready to link on Monday.
Finally got started on Part 1 and below is a sampling of my star-point blocks, cut with my Tri Recs tool. I made 92 with the coral triangle and 96 with the white. These are 3" finished units. Looking forward to Part 2 on Friday.
Part 2 received on Friday, December 6, to make 100 of these "chevron" units, which will be 3" finished. These are using my teal (it might look more blue in the picture, but it is teal) and lime/chartreuse fabrics, along with more neutrals.
Part 3 received on Friday, December 13, to make 200 - 2" half-square triangle units (using my coral and lime/chartreuse fabrics), which will be 1-1/2" finished. Using 100 of these units, we are to make 25 pinwheel units, which will be 3" finished. I used the Easy Angle ruler to cut my triangles and have made 100 of the half-square triangle units and six pinwheel blocks so far. Will have the rest finished before Part 4 comes out on Friday.
Part 4 received on Friday, December 20, to make 120 4-patch units that will be 3" finished, combining teal and coral this time. Am still working on them, but have finished enough to share here.
Part 5 received on Friday, December 27, to make 100 of these units, using the 100 half-square triangles made in Part 3. Neutral triangles were added to either side of the half-square triangles already made, then a large purple triangle was added to finish the Part 5 unit. This unit, as all others, will be 3" finished. I still have about 50 more to make, but I have been grand-dog and great-grand-dog sitting this weekend and have had numerous interruptions. I will have them all finished before Part 6 comes out next Friday, though. And I am hoping that the final layout will be revealed soon!!
We were surprised with Bonnie sending us the final layout for our Celtic Solstice on New Year's Day. Here's what I have finished so far. I am planning to add an additional border at the top and bottom, then two more borders all the way around to make it a rectangle shape for my granddaughter's full size antique four-poster bed. Still have to shop for the border fabrics, which I plan to do at the end of the week. Will post the finished top later.......
