    Default Celtic Solstice by Charisma

    I know that many of us made this quilt so I thought I would share my version.
    Mine looks a bit different because when Bonnie released the color cards for us to dig through our scraps & stash I didn't have most of the colors.....so I had to improvise. I changed orange to pink...and I used pastels because I actually had those in my stash. My quilt looks much softer & more feminine.....and It took a TON of yardage because I made the big one....and I also couldn't keep up with the group..I got stuck for a long time on the chevrons of the second step....LOL> I think many of us did.
    I finished the top around Easter...but just got around to quilting it. I love Bonnie Hunter patterns and I think she is so nice to share one with us every year for the mystery. I always feel like I have accomplished something great when I finish one of her quilts.
    Thanks so much for looking!

    Amazing how the fabric colors really change the look of this quilt pattern. I did the small version in Bonnie's colors. As always your quilting is the best!

    The color change sure did produce a totally different looking quilt. Amazing quilting.
