We had a busy, but fun weekend. My Guy's niece got married in Dallas. It was a beautiful wedding. And of course we got to see family, some we've not seen in more than 10 years. My Girl was able to drive up from Houston. So we got to hang out with her and the cat for a couple of days.
It was a good thing I got lots of sewing time during the week. There was enough time to finish all the blocks for Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter).
Good Fortune was the 2018 BH mystery quilt along. The blue and green were from her color palette, but the red was switched for purple and the orange for black. I'm pretty happy with how it came together. The instructions just sewed the blocks together, I've decided to add some narrow sashing and corner stones to keep the chain moving across the quilt. I'll start up on that today now that I can get back to the sewing room.
Linking up with my normal Monday linky parties, Patchwork & Quilts plus Sew & Tell Monday.

How neat that Queenie got to make the trip! Did she stay in a hotel room? I love your Good Fortune, and your colors are infinitely better than the original. :D
Sounds like a really nice weekend! And congratulations on getting all the Good Fortune blocks sewn together; I look forward to seeing how your assembly plan pulls it all together.
A family wedding sounds fun! Glad you got to see your girl again, too. Good Fortune is so pretty - I like your color choices!
The purple in the diagonals was a great choice to make those blues and greens pop.
great your daughter could meet up at the wedding to visit!!
Gorgeous! I really like the look of the diagonal lines in any quilt…like an Irish chain, only fancier. I think you chose wisely with your color changes.
Good Fortune sure turned out pretty! I'm amazed at how you keep up with those BH designs. I get overwhelmed by them, seeing all the pieces, but I love all the variety!
Aaw Congratulations to the newlyweds. I am sure it was so nice to see family members that you hadn't seen in years. Lots of catching up , I am sure. Good Fortune looks amazing, Kate! Love your color palette.
Weddings are always a vrey good occasion to see the whole family. I'm glad you were able to spend some time with your daughter, too. Love the way you extend the pattern in the quilt, thank you for sharing your beautiful version of the BH project and linking up.
