Winding Ways

One down....142 to go!

Just keep cutting :0)
This is the start of a wedding quilt. I think only batiks can give this nice flow of colors.  I hope to have this done by Sept. in time for the wedding on 9-10-11.

The first one is in a purple colorway and the second in pink.  I also wanted to show you some of the scrappy fabric that went into these quilts.  This is the last mystery quilt  Bonnie Hunter did on her blog.....I'm already thinking about her the next one :0)

Update:  Bonnie let me know this evening that the pattern will be pulled from her blog June 1st.   After that you'll have to wait to get the pattern in  her  future book.
Well now that is something fun to look forward to :0) A new Bonnie Hunter book!

Happy Sewing,
