Anyone made Bonnie Hunter's Double Delight quilt?
#53
For reasons too long to post, I have to have this quilt made by the end of Sept. I have been cutting and sewing for three days and still on step 2. Any quilt that has 480 hst in one step has no choice but be beautiful. Here a pic of the quilt: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...ht-part-7.html . I'm using the same color choices.
My Double Delight was also made as a gift. I changed colors and layout. You might not recognize it. I will search for a picture. Oh, I believe it is in the DD folder at Bonnies site.

Looking at the photos of her piecing this quilt, I notice Bonnie Hunter has an attachment that is perpendicular to the presser foot. I don't know what it is. Maybe to stabilize the 1/4 presser foot so she gets an exact 1/4 inch every time? Does anyone know what this is?

I just finished quilting my Chunky Churndash. Just have the binding to do. Can't decide what color binding. The quilt was made with blocks from a block swap on Quiltville swap. I, also made pillowcases and used my leftover churndash blocks for the cuff on the cases.

I have never done that one. I did orca bay. just got it back from my long armer and am waiting for the fabric to bind it with to arrive. There are lots and lots of pieces to cut out on Bonnie's quilts. they are so beautiful though.

I am working on her Sisters Choice after my guild had a workshop with her. Her ideas and methods are really good and I tend to like doing quilts one block at a time, she tends to work up all the same units. But working with her methods make it go pretty fast. I have to agree with the HST thing, Bonnie prefers to have you cut triangles and then sew them where as I prefer to sew whole squares and cut them.
Give the quilt a try, it is beautiful, and you will see that using Bonnie's directions it will be easy to do.

I made it when she was having the original QA in 2005...I made it for my grandson's graduation...it is still not quilted, I need to get it done by May for his graduation! It was alot of work, but I love how it turned out! I've done several of her mysteries...love using those scraps!
