Clue #1 of Grand Illusion Winter Mystery Quilt from Bonnie Hunter

Here is my progress so far on the Grand Illusion winter mystery quilt. Bonnie has a way with fabrics and I know that these fabrics will make a beautiful quilt. Can't wait for the next clue! As you can see, I have all of my fabrics purchased for the mystery. My pizza box challenge quilt from the Preble County Stitchers used many of the same colors. In fact, I could have use

d all of them with the blocks. So, I think Bonnie did a super job on choosing fabrics. Of course, I would have loved the quilt even if Bonnie chose just black, brown, and light neutrals. She does have a way with scraps! I've included a photo of my picket fences quilt that I made and donated to a student organization made up of military veterans through Miami University at the Hamilton campus as a fund raiser. It was fun to make and I liked the sage green border especially. I've also included my quilt Resolution Square based on the block used in Jennifer Chiaverini's book THE GIVING QUILT. The quilt is in two green fabrics with unbleached muslin. It is a relaxing quilt and now owned by my mother. The other photo is a set of comfort dolls I knitted for my granddaughter. She is just 18 months old and loves to carry small things. The doll on the left is my granddaughter (who really doesn't have much hair so I made blonde curls for her), my daughter-in-law with her long blonde hair, and my son with his short dark brown curly hair. When my granddaughter saw the long hair on the mother doll, she pulled out a strand and put it on her own head. So cute!
