Monday Mystery Link-Up #3

These make me nervous. When doing Easy Street, the blocks were simple, easy to accomplish and then BAM.........when the block assembly was announced, the twisting and turning of the 4 patches almost did me in. I had to check it, rip, check it, rip, take a pic, rip, have hubby check, rip and finally got it assembled, correctly. With 389 of them, it may be a long road!

To make this clear, it is not Bonnie's fault or the pattern, IT IS ME. I have a hard time refolding a map also. I buy the laminated, self-folding ones. Yes, I still like maps even though I use my phone for driving directions. I have many things I do well but the orientation of things is sometimes more than I can handle, lol.

All three parts complete, 

I am still loving my colors although never in my life would I have put red and orange together on purpose. Here is my choices again to reassure myself. 


In other news, the kitchen remodel is on track. Dining area is going according to plan with only one bump. The doors to the outside will not be installed until spring. The wall is off from top to bottom by 3/8 inch and will take more framing than we are will to do being exposed to the weather. It happens to be 0 degrees right now. Polar Vortex, go away! Not a big deal as everything else can be done.

Linking up with Quiltville and Patchwork Times

As Always,

  1. I also used a focus fabric to select my colors. When we take away the inspiration fabric, the color combination looks different, but it all works out in the end.
    I like the black as your constant.

  5. Love seeing how your En Provence is coming along. My fabric is picked out and pre-shrunk, but will have to wait until after the Holidays for cutting I think. T-shirt quilt (queen size) has a Christmas Eve deadline. Hope I can get it done!

  7. Oh, love your colors! I enjoy watching the mystery come together but Bonnie's quilts have so many tiny pieces--it makes me weary!

    1. Thanks, I want to use these quilts and sometimes Bonnie's colors just don't work for me. The first time I changed I just used muted tones of the colors she used and it was fabulous! Try that.
