Bonnie Hunter's 2019-2020 Frolic Mystery
#551
I've been enjoying watching my chosen 'constant' fabric travel from San Antonio Texas to my PO Box. It has apparently left Portland OR so might be in my box today! A day early! Doesn't take much to entertain me...
I'm hoping to have the top currently on the working wall completed today. I told Rob yesterday the only drawback I know to being a passionate quilter, is it actually takes so long to see progress. A completion is (all caps) Visible Progress!
Lovely top charmed! I always forget brown is even a color, and as I work with it this week, I love how rich it is in all it's scrappy permutations.

I love yours! Are you going "all-out" scrappy, just looking at the values not colors? I was thinking of doing that myself since I have so many scraps, but I'm waiting until after the reveal to start.

NZquilter, I started out making the 4 patches cool/warm to replace the raspberry/blue. Then I thought raspberry/neutral would translate to warm/neutral. I'm really deciding as I go. Not certain if it will work, but it's all colors. So it truly will be a surprise when it comes out. The all over green as a constant is going to be cool color scrappy. That's as far as I have it figured by now. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I almost have my clue #2 done...have been plugging away slowly at it after work, had a pile of strips to subcut today, and I am five short after all is said and done. I need to do one more short strip set this evening to finish up.
After a lot of struggle, I finally figured out my seam consistency issues stems from pressing. My ironing board is too soft, and the seams on the longer strips were bowing, among other things. Making sure I press everything on my wool mat, even though it's little one, has fixed my size issues.
I love seeing how everyone else's colors are playing out...keep up the good work!

Toverly, I can’t wait to see how your colors come together.
SusieQ, it sounds like you are enjoying this mystery ... and that you are caught up.
I just returned home from a month long visit with my kids in California but managed to pull some fabrics together this week and have finished clue 1.
DH and I are off to Boston this weekend to see Celine Dion in concert so I’ll have to catch up on Clue 2 and 3 next week. [ATTACH=CONFIG]620849[/ATTACH]
