Allietare Part 3 and 4

Well, I did not get to post last week. My daughter and I went out of town for the weekend for a cousin's wedding. I was tired when we got home, so no sewing and no posting even though Part 3 was done. Part 4 is still in the works as is Part 5. We had company for Christmas, so no sewing time last week or for much of the weekend. I will be sewing this week trying to finish Part 4 and 5 before Thursday night. This weekend promises to be another busy one. Catch up with others progress over at Quiltville.

Since I decided to use solids this year, the yellow is my neutral. Four patches are fun, I can sit and do them all day.

Part 3

When I saw the block for Part 4, I decided to use this print instead of the yellow as the neutral. How will it turn out? It's a mystery! (I always loved that line in "Shakespeare in Love") There are two oranges in this quilt, one is a very red orange and the other is a lighter yellowy orange. They really are very different even if they don't show it in the pictures.

Part 4

Here's hoping I make my goal of finishing Parts 4 and 5 by Thursday!

Allietare Clue 2

This was another busy week. I finished these yesterday, but did not get around to posting about them. I used the rulers that Bonnie suggested and they worked well for me. I have more trouble keeping my quarter inch seam accurate. May have something to do with my trying to go too fast. Oh well, these are done and the right size!

This is gonna be one bright quilt!

Allietare Part I

Well, I am hurriedly getting this done. I finished part 1 of the new Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt Allietare. Changed up the colors and decided to do all solids and they are very bright! Found a fabric that I liked and decided to use those colors. Funny thing was, when I got to the cutting counter another lady commented that they were the same colors as in the sweater I had on! Not sure how all this very bright solidness is going to work, but I'm giving it a try. You can catch up with others on Bonnie's blog by clicking here
