Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek 2020 Mystery Quilt - Part 6

Here is my first batch of blocks for Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek 2020 Mystery Quilt - Part 6.   I had a hunch there was going to be some foundation paper piecing in the 2020 Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt, so I have been saving suitable 'paper'.  As far as I know, in the UK, paper telephone directories are obsolete, so I have been keeping an eye out  for alternatives.  I have a couple of Christmas Radio Times saved, but on this occasion the Sunday Times Magazine was a winner.  I removed the centre staples and was able to fit five blocks down the double length.  With the smaller stitches, the paper has come out like a dream.

I managed to get a few strips of grey from my scrap box, but otherwise I have been cutting strips from by grey fabric selection.  My grey stash has taken a hit with this Mystery quilt, so I can justify a few purchases at the next available opportunity - let's hope there is a quilt show sooner , rather than later in 2021!  There are usually more than six parts to these Mystery quilts, so I expect a few more parts before the BIG REVEAL - we have not used much green yet.

Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek 2020 Mystery Quilt - Part 4

This is my Bonnie Hunter's Grassy Creek 2020 Mystery Quilt - Part 4 effort.  Bonnie gave some great tricks on how to cut and chain piece them to save loads of time, but I chose to ignore all of them and cut each piece out separately, whilst I tried to use up scraps of fabric.  I think this was a great clue.  Adding onto last week's work has given us a substantial block of pieces which will be welcome once we are putting the whole thing together.  Also, with the instructions on pressing, this block went together like a dream as all the points were easy to match.

I also had help whilst I did the blocks. Help involves Popcorn sleeping and NOT eating pins, catching the machine needle and knocking blocks off the table.
