Grand Illusion Mystery = Part One Done (almost….)

I worked hard over weekend and managed to get quite a lot of my first step done.

I must admit, this isn’t a quilt that is shy in colours.  Not by a long shot.  Normally I try and go with my own choice of colour but I really just couldn’t make a decision this time.  I wasn’t even going to make this quilt – I have too much on the go and it’s so close to Christmas.  But I decided if I had enough of the colours that Bonnie chose, I’d make it.  And as I mentioned yesterday, I did.  So this is what it is like.

It’s interesting to see how the blocks fit together and how much they change the block depending on the direction you place them in.  It would be foolish to think this will be the layout of the quilt – previous experience has proven that her mystery quilts are a whole lot more intricate, which explains their popularity.

Turn the blocks 90 degrees and you get a whole different block.

Turn another way, and it’s all totally different again!

I still have lots of the blocks to sew.  I’m just having a little break.

I have linked up with Quiltville’s Mystery Monday Link up here:

Hope your weekend went well, I’ll be back another day with more quilty goodness to show you.
