My daughter finally finished all three quilts. This first one was the Bonnie Hunter Mystery from 2011-2012. She started it with everyone, working away at all the clues. She was doing well. She had a few step backs with her school load increasing and various things throughout this time. Sabryna managed to get all but five blocks completed before having to put it away for a bit. This summer holidays she got the energy to tackle the blocks and go on to finish the borders. Sabryna's version of Bonnie's mystery quilt was to put the blocks straight, not on a diagonal, this created the black grid on a diagonal instead. She did a great job of it. This was her first queen size quilt.
After she finished her centre of the Easy Street Mystery quilt in the picture above Sabryna worked on the four patch blocks and HST blocks for her 16-patch pinwheel quilt. Unfortunately it took her a few days, because she had all the pinwheel blocks done before realizing that half of them where backwards. She was a trooper and took them all apart right away and continued to assemble them all over again. Once she made the decision to do her second border in strips, she didn't take long to finish them. I like it. It looks real sharp.
Lastly, Sabryna finished the borders on her alternating 9-patch quilt. This one is being made to give away. Sabryna is going to practice her quilting on this one. Simple quilt and very pretty in girl colours. I like the use of the yellow for her background.
