Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt - Clue #3

Grand Illusion


The stack of my 8-patch units from clue #3.

Well, hello to all of you. I have been so busy trying to complete all clues to Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Grand Illusion. So far, all three clues are completed as of 11:30 am today! Clue 3 had me using the seam ripper because I sewed the two checkerboard strips together on the wrong side. All I had to do was rip out the old seam and just sew on the other side. Yea, like that was easy - my fingers were sore from pulling on the threads. Oh, well, I recovered! It is still a mystery to me how the last clue will fit within the same units we previously made. The colors Bonnie chose (and I followed with her choice) are so cheerful! I keep telling myself that the next mystery quilt will be one in which I use my own color combinations, but I don't seem to have the nerve. Maybe next time.
