Well here is last year's Alletaire Mystery from Bonnie Hunter. I made a big change in the fabrics as I was not a fan of red and gold. I have been working on my blocks and rows for the past 3 weeks. This is how for I have gotten as of today. I plan to sew some more today and get the top closer to being finished.
My Alletaire mystery is all batik or hand dyed but I do not have enough of any of the batiks or hand dyes to use as a boarder. I have 3 yds of this Kaffe print and all the colour are there. What do you think? I am unsure about the green inner boarder, Bonnie was using the gold. I used green in place of her gold, so if I follow along it should be green. I could go scrappy green or this hand dyed green.
What about this periwinkle batik fabric as the inner boarder ?
So to keep sewing I am up stairs in the living room and have to use the sofa to lay out my rows. I have a few rows to iron and 2 ends to fix. then rows can start to go together.
Next Friday in the release of step 1 to Bonnie's next Mystery En-Provence. I have picked out my fabrics. I am going to use just my Kaffe Fassett collection. I only had to buy a little more of the light fabrics. I had everything else in my stash. Not sure what that says about me and my stash? Maybe it is too big. Or Good for me for using only my stash.
