I'm enjoying this mystery, too!  I love the color palette and am anxiously waiting for the final reveal.  I went to my local quilt shop and found more gold and I like the result.  I also pulled more neutrals out of my stash to bring in more variety.  After re-reading the directions, I loved how Bonnie's colors seem to blend and create a dance of colors, so I copied her examples.  I like it!!
I am finished with step 3.

On to step 4....
I have my patches cut out and will continue to sew this week to finish.  I 'm about halfway with the construction of step 4 all sewn on my Singer Mocha 301a.  She sews so quietly.  Notice the table?  I purchased the Gidget 1 table on E-bay and it arrived this Thursday.  I like the height and also the drop in cut-out for my machine.  I love it and will use the table to accommodate my herd.  Not all of my machines have a cabinet...if they did, I wouldn't have any room for anyone else, much less a place to sleep and eat!

Thanks to Bonnie for sharing her creativity with a beautiful mystery quilt!!

Back to Quiltville

On to step 3 of the Allietare mystery.  Here is my version.  I didn't have the golds that I thought I had.  I guess that means I need to shop for more golds to replace what I've used.  On to the quilt shop I go....
I've finished 60 4-patch; I'll wait to finish the last with the golds I plan to purchase on Monday.

I'm wondering how the blocks are going to be pieced together.  On top of the patchwork, we also were directed to cut more squares and rectangles.  I think the half square triangles from step 1 could be a part of Bonnie's trademark borders.

I have been working hard on getting Step 2 finished.  I did it this afternoon!  I spent last weekend with family and also recuperating from this cold I have.  Once again, I used my Singer 401a and boy, did she work hard making the "Santa Hats" patchwork.

I'm enjoying this mystery, too.
