It's because of Bonnie Hunter at quiltville.blogspot.com that this blog was created. I came upon Bonnie early in 2013 while reading other quilting blogs and immediately began making her patterns. First was Scrappy Trips, then Rick Rack Nines (still needs to be quilted), Lazy Sunday, Jamestown Landing, Basket Weave Strings and now Celtic Solstice - the reason for the creation of this blog. Bonnie is synonymous with the word scrappy for making quilts and for her annual mystery quilt. This one is called Celtic Solstice. You can read more about it here: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html
This is my finished Celtic Solstice before borders.
I wanted a Christmas quilt for our king size bed and think this will fit the bill. I looked for backing fabric today but without success. Might have to wait for a shop hop to find something that will work. Until then, I am going to cut fabric and make kits for future quilts. Of course, they are Bonnie patterns! The 2-1/2" bins (check out Bonnie's scrap system - http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/scrap-users-system.html) are running over, so I have chosen her Boxy Stars, Strip Twist, Oklahoma Backroads, and Nine Patch Split patterns to kit. We shall see.
Thank you for looking at my first day's blog!
