En Provence - 2016 Bonnie Hunter Mystery

This is my first year participating in Bonnie's mystery.  I eagerly cut and sew  each step  as they are released ............  so far.

Step 1 -  make  221  4-patches with whites and creams;  initially I was going to make half the units to see if I wanted to invest this design in a full size quilt.  I made half the units,  116 actually,  then began to second guess my decision.  A dear internet friend said she had at least 50 extra to send me,  so I went and made the other fifty -- they are still waiting by the machine as 2-patches for the final seam.  Here is the first 116 ........

Step 2 - make 100 peaky and spike units; after following the video,  these worked out well using the tri rec rulers

Step 3 - make 168 4-patches.  I'm happy to read that this is the last of our 4 patches.  Here first is the scrappy pile of 2-part units.  I thought this would make the required 168.  Seems my math was challenged and I only got 96 4-patches from this pile.

Back to the cutting board .......Sunday I made another 72 4-patches.  Phew, when I look at this pile up close, I think   that's ALOT of orange.  Anxious for the other colors to tame this down.

I think I'm ready for Step 4.    Have a great week.  Thanks for stopping by.
