Monday my copy of Quiltmaker Magazine arrived with the reveal of Bonnie Hunter's Lazy Sunday Mystery Quilt. As I looked at the final steps, I realized that all the pieces I have yet to finish are in the borders. Saw tooth borders are not my favorites. There are lots of little triangles, and whenever I put them all together they are a little wonky - to say it kindly.
So, I decided to skip all that for now and head right into piecing the top field. Yesterday I worked on cutting out the sashing and cornerstones. Row one was put together by bedtime.
I wasn't sure I'd like the black stars, but as it turns out, I really like them. My blues and greens don't have as much contrast as I thought. I might actually have to change the center four blocks (rows 4 & 5). My dark green in the corners just disappears into the pattern. A bright green would perhaps look better. We'll have to see if I have the ambition to pull out the seam ripper and fuss with that.
Today I'm working on rows 2 and 3!
