Not so long ago I vowed not to do any mystery quilts as I
have, in the past, not been too chuffed with these, however when I saw
completed En Provence mystery quilts, also by Bonny Hunter. I regretted my
decision.
Then for months on end now I’ve been complaining about my
blue remnant drawer being filled to the brim.
I don’t even recall ever buying this much blue fabric but the scraps in
the drawer shows the contradiction.
So when I read about On Ringo Lake, Bonny’s latest mystery,
and it had teal/aqua in, I thought what the heck shades of blue will have to
do. So I got started with major sorting and
cutting of my blue fabric. If it so turned
out that it had a little teal/aqua in it, good as well but I aimed for medium
blues.
It took me a whole afternoon just to sort and cut a couple
of blueish strips and I do believe that what I have won’t be remotely enough
but at least my blue drawer was thinned out and neat again.
I only finished clue 1 on the day that clue 2 came out and
just before the grand-kids came over to visit.
So I guess I’ll always be somewhat behind.
This mystery can be found HERE.
