How time flies – it is that time again – to post progress on this wonderful Bonnie Hunter Quiltville Winter Mystery Quilt.

ONE of the things that I love about Bonnie Hunter’s designs are the MULTITUDE of small pieces. I also like the fact that it takes WEEKS to make the quilt – no quilt in a weekend for me – I want SCRAPPY and COMPLEX. LOL I thought it would be fun to COUNT the number of pieces in this quilt as I go. SO HERE GOES
Clue 1 – 760 pieces
Clue 2 – 2760 pieces (counting the bonus triangles)
Clue 3 – 960 pieces
SO THAT MAKES 4,480 pieces of fabric so far!
Since I am making TWO mystery quilts, that makes 8,960 pieces so far….WOW – that makes me happy!
To see what everyone else’s Part 3 looks like check it out ….

I love how they look, but not sure I really love the small peices, hahah!
