I didn't do Bonnie Hunter's Mystery last year. I planned to and picked fabrics.
I made some initial 4 patches but my progress stalled. My illness in late October and hospital stay sapped my energy, time and finances. So I was working a lot - not sewing.
I was delighted when Bonnie decided to do a sew along during the Covid stay at home. She called it Unity. Unity Sew Along I decided to use my fabrics for that quilt. I started it and if you are following along it is a very pretty quilt.
I went in a different direction. One thing that has calmed me during this chaotic time is simple piecing and I have many projects calling to me. Besides the Jewel Box top I also pieced this Bonnie Hunter Scrappy Trips top
So this medallion quilt is my third top since mid - March. I decided I wanted to incorporate the 4 patches I'd made last fall and design each round myself.
this is the center as Bonnie instructed:
my four patch round:
the next round I made based on a picture I saw online and something similar I found on Quilterscache:
I have made 6 inch shoo fly blocks to go around next. They have more of the 4 patches in their centers. I am not sure how I will turn the corner but I am enjoying the process.
