A few months ago, I posted a picture of the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I made last winter. but it wasn't a great photo. I took what I'm calling "Green Mountain Spring" outside for better photos last week.
I'm not sure what I'll do with this quilt as it's too large to fit in a "large" USPS priority mailing box. Guess I'll just hang onto it until I hear of a need locally. I don't feel good selling any quilts made from Hunter's patterns as she posts them for free for people to use and enjoy. This year I've made three although I usually find her patterns far too fiddly, with loads of tiny triangles.
I like the way Marie quilted it, with big swirly leaves, along with the hot pink border strip.
I really don't like to make mystery quilts because I'm not always thrilled with the color combinations I choose for the unknown pattern. I really love the one I did years ago, though, using Christmas fabrics. Maybe this quilt will grow on me, too.
And here's one of the mug rugs I made recently for a swap. I forgot to take a picture, but the recipient, Mary in Ontario, did. It uses a Vermont "license plate" from the summer shop hop a few years ago, along with a binding made of selvages. Now to figure out what to do with the 14 leftover license plates from all over the country.
