2016 Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt--"Allietare"

The day after Thanksgiving brings a new mystery quilt to Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville blog.  This year it's called Allietare. She posts the colors she is using and the amounts needed of each color. Then each Friday there will be clues to make a quilt using the assembled fabrics. This will be the 3rd Bonnie mystery quilt I've done.

This year I wanted to use the colors of the Maryland flag for my quilt (Red, White, Yellow, Black) so I was hoping she chose a 4 color quilt. I thought it would be fun to do a DIFFERENT color way than what Bonnie chose. Well! Bonnie's colors this year are: Red, White, Yellow, Black.....and Grey. So OK fine I'll use her colors because they are MY colors. But I've chosen to use only ONE fabric of each color instead of making a scrappy quilt. These are my fabrics and I think they all play nicely together.



The first clue had us making lots of HST (half square triangles).
Remember the trouble I had with the HST border of the last quilt I worked on?
I was very accurate in the piecing of these units.

I put a bunch of them on my design wall to admire and photograph.
Now they are all packed into a baggie as I await the next clue.
For this week Clue 1 is done!

    Limiting your fabrics to ONE per color will be a nice change from the usual BonnieCrazy-Scrappy look. I'm sure it will turn out PERFECTLY!!

    It's good to see that I'm not the only one using just one fabric per color! Your fabrics look great.
