Yea!! I finished the top for the Bonnie Hunter 2016 Mystery - En Provence. I changed out one color. I used aqua blue rather than yellow. As I did in 2013, I used a fabric to select colors, but that fabric does not appear on the front of the quilt. I'm excited about how it turned out. For the third year, friends and I have sewn in the new year. A great start to a new year.
UPDATE: I've started the ditch work for my quilt. Yea!
Here's the link to see what others accomplished in the mystery.

| All the parts. |

Finished! I added an extra row in the border so it will finish 90 x 90 inches.
My "neutral" was white with black. Looks gray here. |

| Two versions of the same quilt. |
The Quilt Show does a Block of the Month each year. In previous years I have collected the patterns, but have never made the quilts. This year, several friends and I have challenged ourselves to actually get it done. I was originally going to order the kit, but ended up finding other fabrics to use.

Happy 2017!

Did you make two of them? WOW Love them both and I think I'll add an extra border to mine, also.
