After humming and hawing since Friday last week when
Bonnie Hunter put up the first part of her newest mystery quilt, I decided, yep, can do this! The first part says 448
pairs of quarter square triangles, hence the indecision. But after pulling out of my stash of ready cut 3-1/2" black and neutral squares and figuring out that I actually only need 112 pairs of squares, seems more manageable. Have about 3/4 of that number ready cut, so pulled out some of my untouched fat quarters, and away we go.

Three years ago I joined a weekly quilt group, and almost every Thursday evening I have taken a box of scraps left over from sporadic quilt making from the past 30-odd years and have been taming them, a la
Bonnie Hunter, into usable sizes. I have about another year to go to get through the rest of the unruly scraps!
