Well the annual insanity has started again with another holiday mystery ala Bonnie Hunter. This year it is the Grand Illusion Mystery with BH-GI Clue 1 published on Friday November 28. The first clue calls for a boat load of half square triangles made with the Easy Angle ruler. This ruler is actually growing on me now that I have used it a few times to turn 2 1/2 inch strips into 2 inch finished hst's.
I haven't quite decided if I am going for the full 88x88 size yet...but I have made a decent little dent into the needed 280!
I did decided to alter the color way:
- where Bonnie has pink I have orange.
- where Bonnie has black I have purple
- where Bonnie has yellow I have gold.
My inspiration fabric which will be my border is one that has been in my stash for awhile. I just pulled colors from that fabric. I think it will all work and I used things that were in my stash so clearly there is virtue there! ha!
The gold is actually more contrasted to the orange in person...not as much in the picture.
I will keep plugging along until the next clue comes out on Friday!
Wow, I like your colors too! Are they inspired by that one multi colored print? Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours! That border fabric is amazing. I'll enjoy watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes...I have had that multicolor print for a long while in my stash...and decided to use it!
ReplyDeleteI really like your colors. I had the same experience with the Easy Angle ruler. Wasn't sure about it at first. But since I will do just about anything to cut once and sew once, I grew to really like it. No sliver trimming for me!
