Thanks to a friend visiting over New Year's I was able to finish my Bonnie Hunter Quiltville Mystery, "On Ringo Lake". I only had clue 1 complete when she arrived Friday, Dec. 29, but by Tuesday when she left I was almost caught up. It's amazing what two focused quilters can accomplish.
I changed colors: Red, green, aqua, and black for my neutral. I made it square by leaving off nine blocks, then added an extra border of three-inch squares just to make binding easier. It finishes at 79 x 79 inches. The extra nine blocks will become the center for a medallion quilt later. We took time to play with designs before the final reveal. All we got right was that the blocks were on point! - but it was fun to play. I'm using one of the arrangements for the medallion.
I don't do a lot of truly scrap quilts, so I especially like doing the mysteries. I'm excited to have the top complete.

It's fun to see all the different variations from one set of directions.
