Hi everyone!! I have finished all the blocks for the Bonnie Quiltville mystery! Including the alternate neutral string blocks...but I chose not to use them, as mine were really bulky with the fabric foundation. Instead, I played around with all the pieces and parts and came up with this. I made cornerstones of some of the border strips, kind of a nine patch....I just love that, and the graphic nature of the red zig-zags...love it all!! It is a saturated with color quilt, to me...and the neutral pieces kind of glow! Altogether, just a really fun quilt. Thank you, Bonnie!
Close up...I still have to make a border of the pieces and parts...that is yet to come.
Lori of Humble Quilts is having a doll quilt-a-long!! She posted another step today, and I am done with that...come on next step!! This is proving such a fun quilt to make...would you like to join us???Have a great day!!!

I love your layout for RRCB!!
You're RRCB really sparkles. I like your setting. I'm doing Lori's quiltalong, too. Such fun!
Gosh, that is one bright quilt...love it.
Gorgeous -- the sashing sets off those triangles so beautifully!
Yes, it is a great-looking quilt. Is it made completely from scraps?
That is one terrific quilt, as usual for you. The color is so vivid and happy!
Your quilt is like jewels! A beauty!!
Your layout looks fantastic, I love how you put the pink in the sashing.
Wow - that looks terrific!
I love it! I haven't done the string blocks (still piecing the blocks)as I don't have many strings,so I've been contemplating what to do instead of them. You hit it right on. Your sashing looks great and I too, love the red spikes! Over all it's just a beautiful quilt!
Yippee....I love your RRCB! That is wonderful! I was needing to modify the plan, because there is nothing king-sized in my house.....and didn't know if I was going to make fewer blocks (which is impossible until you get to the end to know what you need), or less borders, or something! And I was hoping to see some options from others....but no need to look further....yours is the ONE! I'm loving that the sashing strip sits next to all those 1/2 square seams....cuz I was really dreading the string blocks up against that, and dealing with a million seams together! This takes that out....very sweet! I'm so glad I waited after step 2!
Am keeping notes of Humble Quilts quilt-along....can't do it yet, but definitely will!
Thanks for all your inspiration!
What a great variation! You came up with some nice ideas for added sashing and cornerstones. It really helps pull it together.
Did you hear I won Bonnie's new book? :-) I better get busy organizing my scraps!
Absolutely beautiful. I am doing the same mystery, just started putting it together. Yours is just gorgeous!
Wow! You're amazing! I love the blocks you finished and you're making such great progress on your new doll quilt! I on the other hand, didn't sew at all today.
I did work, just not sewing. =)
Julie,
I love this! What a great quilt.
Even without the string blocks, this quilt is a stunner! I decided to play catch up and will have Lori's blocks done tomorrow.
Oh your RRCB is fabulous - so pretty.
Gotta love your pieces and parts. :-)
Love the direction your RRCB mystery is taking! I am not doing the string blocks so have to figure out what I'll do. I am not even close to making that decision yet!
That layout looks great! Amazing how a simple addition changes the look. I love it!
Hi Julie, Sorry it has been so long since I last stopped by. You have been very busy while I was MIA. Love the new quilt...the color and the layourt.
Just awesome!!
Your quilt looks beautiful!
Oh my, that is stunning!!! Love it!

Wow, great sweeping roll in another direction--love it! The string blocks never caught my fancy but they sure used up a lot of people's scraps!
I saw the doll quilt along but just can't commit now. I'll just ooh and aah over yours, k?
Julie, that is truly stunning....
That is a winter warmer quilt, don't you think? just wonderful, vibrant and colourful.
That quilt will add colour to a dreary winter. Can't wait to see it with the border. I would love to join Lori's little project but alas I have to sit on my hands for the moment.
Wow! That is one bright quilt! Funny you did yours without the other blocks because I was wondering if that would work or would be too busy. I see now that it works great! :0)
Absolutely wonderful!!!! Looks so different without the blocks but it works! I've got several other things going on but I'm planning on doing RRCB soon. Thanks for sharing.
I love you're quilt, really love it. What a big work, but what an awsome quilt.
I LOVE it Julie!! It is so colorful and fun!! And you still have your string blocks for another project.
I'll post step 3 on Friday..lookin' good!
Ohhh this one is so super pretty!!!
Julie that quilt is gorgeous!! It does glow!! :) You do awesome work, my friend. :)
Although I loved Boonie's orginal setting, I love your alternate setting too! Does this mean I have to make two? I am adding your post to the file on this project.
Love this variation!
Wow what a fantastic quilt,lovin' the layout!!!
Sue...
I really love the way you did your quilt, wish I had thought of it!
This is a totally awesome quilt. You amaze me with all you get done!
My best,
Anett
Love what you did with Bonnie's pattern! It sings!
I love that quilt, it is beautiful and a lot of piecing.
Once I feel more comfortable piecing and actually finishing things, I want to make more detailed quilts.
Debbie
Oh heavens - that is gorgeous!!
OH, Julie, this looks great. Will love to see how you do the border. I have yet to start on it.
This is such a beauty...lots of work, but so worth it. I hope to work on my Midnight Star project today, after I vacuum and start some laundry. Yours is looking good!
Love your punchy and fun RRCB - your Quilt along is coming along!
Love your layout for your RRCB! This is one beautiful quilt!
I love your version of the mystery quilt! Great job *s*
What a great layout. Such a pretty quilt.
