I'm ready again to join in the fun of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt. This year her inspiration came from her trip to Italy. She is calling the quilt Allietare which means "to gladden, to rejoice, to become cheerful."
I have chosen these fabrics that closely resemble her colors; although my reds and golds are more bright.
I tried to keep my neutrals with a creamy background although some are lighter than others.
And my blacks are mostly prints that have golds, greens and other colors in them.
I have finished the clue for this week; 294 of these half square triangle units all done. We won't get our next clue until Friday. I have no idea what this quilt is going to look like other than it will be scrappy.
A few years ago I did Bonnie's mystery quilt called Orca Bay. It's still needing the borders on it.
To see what others are doing in this mystery you can click on the link below. I think it is fun to see different color combinations that others are using.
