DESIGN WALL MONDAY - 1/14/13
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. at Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))
===

I'm still working on my version of “Easy Street” -
Bonnie Hunter’s Easy Street Mystery Quilt - HERE -

And I have mentioned before that -

My version has taken a slight detour - ;))

I substituted “Chocolate” for her “Purple” -

“Teal” for her “Turquoise” -

“Raspberry” for her “Limey/Apple Green” - ))

My “Gray/Constant” is a light “Lilac” -

My backgrounds are “Cream - Tan - Pink - Light Blue” -

Because I used most of my White/Black last year in Orca Bay - ;))

So - with my substitutions -

My “Easy Street” would have looked like this -

All of that“Raspberry” is a bit much for me -

I probably would have switched the “Chocolate” and “Raspberry” if I had known -

But that's part of the fun of a mystery -

It doesn't always come out the way you thought it would - ;))

And because I already had most of the stuff cut and sewn -

The challenge became - how to make it work for me - ;))

So I played around in EQ7 -

And came up with some ways to replace most of the “Raspberry” with “Chocolate” -

After checking to see if I actually had enough “Chocolate” left -

I decided on this one -

I think I’ll call it -

Easy Street Detour - ;))

My Corner blocks look like this -

My Setting Triangles look like this -

My Block A looks like this -

My Block B looks like this -

For those of you who might not know -

I don’t like sewing 25-patch blocks (or quilts) one row at a time -

Unless I HAVE to - ;))

I much prefer my “Chunk Method” - HERE -

So - if my math is correct -

Along with a few “single” units here and there -

I should be able to work these up as giant 9-patches -

If I make -

48 - 4-Patch Combos -

64 - Turkey Combos -

64 - Shaded 4-Patch Combos -

64 - Stacked Geese Combos -

I started with the Turkey Combos -

Because they just sounded delicious - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
