Orange and Pineapple Crush Step 4
Posted By drsao on May 10, 2008
The saga of Bonnie K. Hunter’s 2nd Mystery Quilt continues…….step 4 was 120 3 1/2″ triangle blocks combined with our step 1 2″ four patches to make 30 SPINNING STAR blocks.
This is what my step 4 SPINNING STAR for the PINEAPPLE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT (my controlled scrappy quilt) looks like. I went back to my original fabric color choice using the burgundy checked fabric that I really like even though it really doesn’t read solid. SIGH…..some of us just don’t take direction well. :):) Right now I am still planning on using the pinepple color fabric and teal for the accent – but WHO KNOWS what I will decide by the time step 5 appears online! 🙂
Here is my SPINNING STAR step 4 for the ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT (my totally scrappy quilt) looks like. My other colors are orange and teal checks….I think. 🙂
Today was definitely a quilting day – I went to my BIRTH OF A SAMPLER CLASS at the QUILTER’S CORNER this morning and learned to do a bias strip (at least I am HOPING that I learned it well enough to actually make it on the next border….pictures to come in the near future!)
AND the last half of the day I spent with the Virginia Scrappers working on my Grandmother’s Flower Garden. We had so much fun (and Bonnie’s Mystery Quilt was a topic of conversation that emerged here and there throughout the day.) I wish I had a picture of Sheddy’s Orange Crush – she is doing it in 30’s fabrics – and I LOVE IT……I want one in 30’s fabrics….but two is probably enough…..:)
Throughout the day I laughed so hard. I only regret that I didn’t have my camera to capture some of the beautiful works of art in progress! And because of all of my fun today I am current fighting the urge to buy a little green HELLO KITTY SEWING MACHINE. Why……it defies explanation. Linda had one and it was EVER SO CUTE! Patsy has one and she LOVES HERS. So is that a GOOD ENOUGH REASON……..probably!
And one more thing…..I just had to play with my split-nine-patch online block swappers exchange blocks……the second session of blocks are due May 30 – and I am going to make some more!
