Allietare Finished

Finally got the last border on and backing pieced to send to the quilter on Friday.

The border and the backing are both made out of a black and white Paris inspired fabric.  The friend that will receive it traveled with me to Paris and London 8 years ago for our birthdays.  I will definitely make this pattern again-just love it.  i didn't make the full size quilt-this was big enough for me:)

Allietare Reveal

New Year's brought the Bonnie Hunter MQ reveal and I have to say, it is the prettiest so far.  I am amazed that some ladies have finished their full sized quilts.  I didn't know exactly how many pieces I would need so I made 1/2 as we went along and needed to make several more of each one.  Yesterday I got all pieces cut out and most units made that were needed and was able to start sewing the blocks together.  I really like this quilt and plan to make it again.

I am subbing the next 3 days so will have to leave it where it is right now.

Allietare Mystery Quilt

I wasn't going to do the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt but the colors drew me in.  I am just going to do a half sized quilt so I need approximately 150 HST's.  We were in Utah for Thanksgiving so I just got home late Saturday night.  After church yesterday I cut out 90 and sewed 3.  I have substituted  soft sage greens for the grays.

Before I could start sewing the HST's, I needed to do some Christmas sewing, so I strip quilted 3 out of 6 mug rugs I need to make.  Just need to add the chosen bindings.

Hope everyone is getting their Christmas sewing done as well-unfortunately, I am just thinking about finishing the rest of the HST's by Friday when clue #2 comes out!   The fabrics I have chosen for this one is shown below-Happy Stitching!
