I am making Bonnie K. Hunter's new mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice. She posted the first clue Friday morning, and I got started cutting my fabrics at work that day. I worked at it off and on over the weekend and just now, Sunday night at 10, I finished the first clue. Here is a picture of my pieces finished. I made 92 blocks with pink in the center and 96 blocks with my neutral in the center. Here is also another picture of the fabrics I have chosen to put in this quilt. I changed two of Bonnie's colors - my purple for her blue and my pink for her orange. I didn't change her green or yellow but I did change some of my neutrals. I am using white on white scraps for my neutrals. I like Bonnie's way of using prints on the neutrals but it really makes for a busy quilt. I am linking this post to Bonnie's blog quiltville.blogspot.com. Many people will be linking to her blog, because many people are doing this quilt. I am proud to be one of them. 
I like the colors you swapped out. It will be interesting to see how your choices look in the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you have chosen! The pink and purple look great.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours you have chosen. Great to see the purple. I look forward to following your progress on this quilt and I may even have a go later on too.
ReplyDeleteYour colors look great!
ReplyDeleteOops I just posted to Jamie that I thought we were the only 2 so far that I saw with these colors but now I see you too choose the pink, purple, yellow and green. so excited to see all these combinations come together. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat start on Celtic Solstice!
ReplyDeleteLoving your colors. Seeing all of the pinks and purples along with limes and light blues I am really loving all of the color combos that folks have chosen for the mystery.
ReplyDeleteYou're fast! I'm also using shades of pink instead of orange and "white on whites" for my neutral. I love mixing "white on whites" in a quilt, so I pick them up from the fabric store every time I find them in the remnant bin.
