So happy to be working on another Bonnie mystery quilt. It is a great way to spend a cold winter day. It is -35 here today and that is not with the windchill, sunny and bright though.
I have finished clue #1, very colorful.
I am using purples for the black and white. And a more gold tone for the yellow. I have two colors of a muted coral for the pink. Here are all 100 of the broken dishes unit done. Four of them put together make a lovely star, but is that how they will be placed??? It is a mystery. This is going to be a very bright quilt.
I have finished clue #1, very colorful.
I am using my new (to me ) 1951 Singer Slant O Matic 503 ( doesn't that sound so cool) to put this mq together. My son went right through it, greased, oiled and tightened here and there, and it just hums along. I love it. The fins remind me so much of the cars in that error, lot's of fins...and the jukeboxes. And lot's of jivin'. I love this machine, just about as much as my Featherweight.
Eagerly awaiting link up Monday, on Bonnie's Blog , so I can see the wonderful color combinations that my fellow bloggers are using for this mystery. Happy sewing.

LOVE your fabric choices and really like your Singer 'Rocket', what FUN to be sewing on one of those for this mystery!
Great mystery color choice! And wow, what a rocket machine
Gonna be pretty with the purple!
Thanks for visiting my blog today! I like your GI colors--the purple and the bronze gold contrast nicely. Your new-to-you machine is a beauty.
So you exchange the black to purple and I exchange the yellow to purple! I'm so excited to see the next clue.
I love your machine, it's really cute!
I would love to find one of these machines. I have a Featherweight and a Singer 66. I guess I need to keep looking. Your Grand Illusion blocks are looking good. I still have 45 more broken dishes blocks to finish.
I love your blocks and vintage sewing machine! What I enjoy the most from Bonnie Hunter's patterns is the high color contrast. The pallette you chose is also awesome. Thanks for having visited my blog.
Love your colors and your sewing machine! I enjoy collecting and using vintage machines. I checked out some of your other quilts on your blog and you have made some beautiful quilts!
