My holiday vacation started last Friday and I've been enjoying the time off. There's been a fair amount of stitching going on over the long weekend. I'm still not caught up with Grassy Creek and likely won't be before Christmas. A few pieces are cut out to start clue 3, but clue 4 isn't even printed out yet. But I did finish the last stitch in the binding for last year's Bonnie Hunter mystery.

| Frolic, 2019 Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt Started December 1, 2019; Finished December 20, 2020 |
Frolic is all finished and is currently draped over the back of the couch (I'd show pictures, but the living room is currently looking very lived in since the Scientist in Training is home from college). I pretty much stuck with Bonnie's colors, but substituted black for the light neutrals. The border is a bit different too. HSTs aren't my favorite thing to make, so the border was constructed to use what there was once the blocks were all finished.
I'm not sure how to describe the quilting motive that Trudy used, but it works with the quilt. She nailed it as usual.
Frolic is the eighth Bonnie Hunter annual mystery that I've started, and only the fourth finished. I'm happy with how it turned out. My Guy likes it. Frolic was supposed to be his recliner quilt, but it's a bit big for that, so it became the couch quilt.
Finishing Frolic was my OMG for December. So I'll be linking up with Elm Street Quilts for the last linky party of 2020. I'm linking up with the usual Monday show and tells for today: Monday Making and Monday Design Wall.
Congratulations on a fantastic Frolic finish! It is absolutely beautiful, and your flying geese border looks great. I'm sure it is a great relief to have a Bonnie mystery quilt finished.

ReplyDeleteEight BH mystery quilts - that is amazing! I get breathless just reading her posts; I can't imagine keeping up on her mystery quilts. They sure are lovely though, and yours is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteFrolic looks terrific wherever it lands in your living room! Glad you got this big quilt crossed off your to-be-finished pile. Have a great vacation--mine won't start until Christmas Eve. I am so ready for a break.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing Frolic. It is amazing how different Bonnie's patterns look when you use single fabrics of each of the colors. Much calmer and I like you border adaptation as well. Great finish. Now on to the next one.
