Good Fortune mystery quilt, parts #1 and #2

A new mystery...and a new start.

It's been quite some time (years!) since I posted here, but I intend to use this blog to document my projects, and my progress.  It's mainly for my own benefit, but if someone randomly stumbles across my posts, welcome to my world!

I'm keeping up on Bonnie Hunter's newest mystery, Good Fortune.  You can check out this free quilt pattern here.  Bonnie's colors are light neutral, red, orange, green and blue.  I'm replacing her orange with gold, her green with purple, and her blue with green.  I hope these translate into Christmas colors.

I'm trying to use up the tiniest scraps, then expand to larger scraps and yardage. The cutting takes some time, but I'm enjoying the process!

Part #1 are small four-patches, 2.5 inches square.  There are 240 of these.


Part #2 are squares made up of triangles. These are 2.5 inches, and there are 252 of these.  I'm using green instead of Bonnie's blue.

This is Part #1 and #2 together.  Of course, this probably isn't the way it will eventually be put together. It's still a mystery, after all!
Next post...Part #3, which I'm well into.       Louise
