From the start, I planned to do something different with Bonnie Hunter's mystery, Celtic Solstice. Initially changing the colors, especially the background, was my only intent. Then I saw many different possibilities for the blocks. Quilters around the world were flipping this part and that. Making their quilt unique. Someday mine will be done too. Here is a "peak" at what will come. Please check back in to see as it progresses. Until then I will keep sewing!!

Love the colours and the way you have changed the look. I like the way the stars pop...will be following you with interest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, which gives a really unique quilt. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIs your color change only the black? This is going to be beautiful. I love the black for the neutral. Very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThe background is actually a very dark brown/burgandy batik called Expresso. I also changed several blocks in the border which is hard to see right now. I will post more photos as I progress and hopefully get the top done in the next month.
DeleteYour colorway and the setting are just wonderful! I think this is the most versatile of all of Bonnie's mystery designs.
ReplyDeleteBeeeeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt in progress just sparkles! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteJust updated one of the pictures with additional blocks sewn on Sunday.
DeleteCan't wait to see the full final layout - like the way you changed the colors & units around.
ReplyDeleteTop picture of this post was updated on Sunday. Can see a bit more of the layout. Will alternate row of star blocks with chevrons, and Bonnie's block with chevrons.
