Pink Stars Over Scott and Easy Street Update

For 2013, I have joined Angela, with SoScrappy, with her monochromatic use of scraps.  The month of January is Pink, which turned out to be a great beginning for me.  I have made a few "Pink" quilts for my many nieces and those designated for Breast Cancer Awareness fund raisers.   This of course has accumulated a healthy stash of pinks.  "Stars Over Scott" is a simple use of 168 HSTs forming 5 stars, using 5 1/2" strips -- each HST finished at 5".  This finished quilt will be donated to a fund raiser scheduled in March.

Now I need to tackle the use of the other pink strips still remaining in a variety of sizes. But first, a few finishes from the stack of other projects.

Bonnie Hunter's "Easy Street" Mystery blocks are sewn together and hanging on the long arm frame while I audition different borders.  The top went together easily and it paid off planning the pressing directions before I started to assemble.  I had a few changes in directions, but very minimal.  If I can't decide on a border, I may go without, or piece something from the left-overs.

For the Monday Design Wall link, I am heading to Judy's at Patchwork Times (who by the way, had me hooked on the monochromatic colors in 2011).

Easy Street, Scrappy Mountains

It seems to be a Bonnie Hunter morning!  Above is the finished Scrappy Mountain Majesties top from Bonnie's patterns -- Christmas Gift for a "Cowboy" guy!  As soon as the long arm is empty, this one is next. 

Easy Street, the 2012 Mystery by Bonnie Hunter:  Part 1 (Done) and Part 2 (Partially done) -- this year I am heading in a different color direction.  For my Orca Bay, I used black on white background and I used aqua/turquoise instead of blue -- with that said, I needed to think about a new combo.  Using my Hancock coupons, I like to buy bolts of Kona cotton -- so I had plenty of Snow on hand.   

Today is a double header link -- Monday Design Wall over at Judy's Patchwork Times, and East Street with Bonnie of Quiltville.
