Easy Street
Finished the top for Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street quilt. Took about 10 weeks to do, sewing a few days per week. This was a mystery quilt and I'll tell you why I love mysteries...because if I had seen the outcome at the onset I would've shouted "Hell no, I won't sew!"....so many pieces! and it looks so complicated! but in-fact, it was true to its name...Easy Street...easy peezie. My favorite part was putting all the blocks together...it didn't matter how you turned each block to sew, they went together smoothly. Took a lot of pins...a lot of pins...and you had to pin to make all the points meet. But I say to myself..."what do you want...to throw some quilt together...or carefully put together a piece of art"...LOL that gets me through all the pinning at least! I am NOT a perfectionist.
Well, here it is...

Wonderful job!
I tried to do a mystery pattern once, but I am the type who likes instant gratification.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I'm working out borders now...that dark gray for inner and turquoise for outer. That means a trip to LQS.

You're right mich/TN. It is supposed to be a 3 and not a 2 thousand something. Good thing we don't count the number of pieces before starting a project! Do you have a picture of yours, mich? Would love to see it.
