Easy Street quilt : step 1

1211 Easy Street: step 1
Originally uploaded by rooruu

The steps go up each Friday for the next 6-8 weeks. Friends have made super quilts with Bonnie Hunter's annual mystery quilt patterns, and the weekly format suits me right now. So here's step 1: 192 four patch blocks using the lighter background fabric and the cheerful 'constant' fabric.

When was the last time I made a quilt that wasn't my own design? Years? Years and years! It's kinda peaceful, just following instructions .... For now, when all else is so busy.

I do like both these fabrics. Happy happy.

PS. I linked to this blog entry at Quiltville's first linky for Easy Street.  See my previous blog entry for my fabric choices.

PPS. The lighter fabric is Darls by Tanya Whelan/Grand Revival for Free Spirit.  The turquoise blue cherries fabric is from Denyse Schmidt, Daisy Mae collection (2011).  I like tossing modern-coloured Victorian flourishes against funky retro forties/fifties style! - it's working!

PPPS. Thanks for the kind comments! - very much appreciated.

Fabrics for Bonnie Hunter's 2012 mystery quilt, Easy Street.

My colour choices are pale aqua/white background, turquoise pattern 'constant' (BH grey), green (BH lime), orange (BH aqua), grey (BH purple).

My greys look a tad cobalt/purply in that top left corner, but they're grey/muted blue grey (Hipstamatic was having some fun, I guess, muddling colours a bit).
