On Ringo Lake modified

 

This is Kerri's version of Bonnie Hunters Mystery Quilt On Ringo Lake   Kerri left out the sashing, using it as a border instead.  I just love her fabrics and colors.


I quilted a freehand clamshell, a design I learned from Christina Cameli

Kerri has many many fabrics, so it is a scrappy quilt, with lots of interest when you look close at the fabrics, but because she controlled her colors really well it reads more uniformly and the design from the piecing shows really clearly.

I used Christina Cameli's freehand clams on this quilt--I was so pleased with the texture and effect when I had used it previously, I had been waiting for another quilt with piecing sized appropriately to use the piecing to gauge the placement of the clamshells.

On Ringo Lake 2

 This is Vicki's On Ringo Lake Bonnie Hunter's 2017 mystery quilt. 

I love all of the fabrics she chose.


 I checked back through my quilting for Vicki in the past few years, and she doesn't have one with E's and 3's, so that's what I put on her On Ringo Lake.  Lots of curves to offset all the linear piecing. 
 Vicki has also added 11 blocks to make her quilt a queen size. 
 And she made back art, Vicki used all the left over bits of fabric to make this wonderful backing.

 And here is Vicki's quilt and my On Ringo Lake side by side--you can see I flipped my colors.  I didn't realize until just now that I had picked such similar quilting designs.

On Ringo Lake

This is my On Ringo Lake which was Bonnie Hunter's 2017 Mystery Quilt.   Look, the binding is done and everything :)

The photo shows as red, but it's really more of a magenta color.

 This is the second of Bonnie's mysteries I have done, and as with the first, I learned a lot.  I'm still having issues with scrappy though--I used 4 pieces of yardage.
 I love all the different secondary shapes I see in this quilt, and that when I look from different angles I see different shapes.  
 I reversed the pink and blue on this quilt from Bonnie's...this way it reads, overall, as a blue quilt to me.  The other way reads as a pink quilt.
 I so rarely do an edge to edge design on my own quilts , so I decided to E2E this one.  Spirals.  All over the quilt.  Wool batting = lovely texture and lovely to sleep under.  It's a little too small for our bad, but at some point the kids will move out and we will have guest beds.
 Here is a photo of (almost) the whole quilt at once, before I got the binding on.    I added to Bonnie's instructions to make it square.
I had uploaded my fabrics into EQ7 to play with fabric placement, and I cannot now find the photos using my fabrics, but these two use fabrics similar to Bonnie's colors-maybe you can what I mean by saying one reads blue and one reads pink.
