| Angel Swamp Star framed by a Sawtooth Star |
I went to a patchwork workshop this last week on paper-piecing a wall hanging of interlocking coloured cubes. I enjoyed it but haven't done anything more. I'll show it when the top is finished! The participants were all sent the blank outline in advance and told to colour it in to make their own colour design. It was interesting to see how everyone had interpreted the pattern in a different way, altogether coming up with eight different designs.
I was without a proper Internet connection for several weeks, and it's still a bit shaky! I missed quite a lot of posts and wasn't able to answer comments on my blog very quickly. Although I could take a few seconds at work to check and approve comments, I couldn't take the time to answer. Sorry!
While browsing this morning I noticed that one of the posts I'd missed was Bonnie Hunter's announcement of the 2015 winter mystery. It's inspired by Italy, with a lot of red and gold (wonderful!) and ... BROWN! Just the colour I don't have! If I make the quilt I shall be adapting it for a throw, but what a dilemma all over again: to buy brown, or not to buy brown!
I am linking up to
so hop over there for more lime stars and other shapes.
Happy sewing
Marly.

Your star surrounded by the dark night sky is lovely...it does really glow! hugs, Julierose
Your RSC Sampler block turned out well. Have FUN sewing it all together! Here's hoping that your internet will have better connectivity in the coming weeks.
I think the colors are red, gold, gray, and black. (Though some of her golds do look a little brown...)
I'm planning to join her mystery this year - it will be my first!
Another gorgeous star. Your quilt will be lovely when its done.
Great Swamp Angel in lime green. I haven't decided whether or not to begin Bonnie's new mystery. I'm still working on finishing up Grand Illusion from last year.
I too love this lime star. So stunning against the dark blue. Can't wait to see it all together. Good luck with your next Bonnie project. (I know you will accept her challenge lol.)
I say no to brown. I'm sure you could find a substitution that you own and love. Looking forward to seeing your sampler come together.
Buy Brown
there are so many rich ones on the market now, Stonehenge with specks of gold! Gorgeous. LeeAnna
Sounds like you are way ahead of most of us on finishing your RSC15 quilt. Love the dark background. Keep up the good work!
I haven't decided on my colour scheme for the mystery yet. I have almost none of that gold colour (although I do have lots of browns), and I don't have the sort of fabrics Bonnie calls "neutrals". I'll be changing the colours to suit what I have, but just how is still a mystery!
It's been fun to watch the progression of your RSC quilt. Love this block.
Lime looks perfect with navy!
Your block looks good. It's going to be fun to see the quilts that come out of this year's RSC. :- )
I think the color is gold. I'm using gold and I'm thinking a throw also.
Your block looks great.
I'm doing Bonnie's mystery too but I changed out the golds for aquas and my neutrals all have very white or off white backgrounds to keep the quilt bright. No pics on my blog as yet, I have most everything cut out but not much sewing done!
