On Ringo Lake -- Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017-18
#1581
Since you girls are wondering about blocks set on point or sashing-- I'm voting for sashing. I imagine the reveal is the blocks set square, with the rectangle diamond/triangle units as sashing. You could set the rectangle units where the blocks meet in the corners, so the neutral triangle part of the rectangle unit makes an 8-pointed star (why else make the reverse diamonds?). Then she'll use turquoise to connect the rectangles with each other to reach the length of the block, and have a cornerstone. I'm curious if her next clue will be to add turquoise square pieces to the ends of the diamond/rectangle units?
No, that would be a 4-pointed star... Not sure why the reverse then. Dunno! lol

Now that sounds pretty

Well I laid out 4 sets of my arrangement, and added a few drawn color blocks to simulate additional units I would need to make if I go w/ this layout. Right now I am at a complete stand still b/c I have to decide one or the other before going on. If I do mine it will take some extra connectors (no problem I have plenty of those fabrics and it would be squares and hst) and I will have to make a few more of some of the ORL units. If I do Bonnie's I just need to start making the folded corners squares. Anyway here is the pic of 4 of my blocks laid out, it is messy since they are just laid out for an idea

If I do this one I doubt I would post a pic anytime soon on QV (I wouldn't post until after reveal anyway) but even after that I think they would lynch me on that site, but you ladies are much more supportive.

I got clue 6 done! Now to work on 7 - but at least that is combining so no cutting or trimming.
#1585
I have seven of these done. I will have 24-25 when I get all my pieces together.

Kassandra, I really like your layout and Bonnie usually does have an alternate pattern in her mysteries, from what I remember anyway. I really have enjoyed seeing everyone's blocks and color combinations. It will be at least Wednesday before I can reclaim my sewing room and start back at this mystery, so I am getting my fix from all of you. Thank you for sharing your blocks. Happy New Year to all of you.

My first block is below. Hoping to finish tonight, but realistically I'll probably get about 3/4 done.

Wow, everyone's blocks look great! I love the cool blue and purple, the poppin' orange and blue, and the quiet gray and green.
Kassaundra, that's a wonderful layout. Your fabrics look so good together.
