Grand Illution Mystery- Bonnie Hunters (Part 1,2 and 3)

Ok, I am late starting this blog so I can link up with everyone else posting their progress for each step.
Im really excited to be participating in this mystery Quilt. This fall I was able to attend her Saturday and Sunday classes for a "Sisters Chose" and "Pineapple Blossom" pattern threw our Guild in Soo MI.

Starting backwards,

Here is STEP 3....
I found this step the most fun and EASY so far. Gotta love easy! The green colours I chose  where on the light end of the paint swatch she left at our local Quilt shop. These where the only colours I did NOT have in  my stash of scraps. I have only been sewing for 20 months, so my stash is growing (along with my PhD's- Projects half done) In hind sight, I should have bought or used purple or earth tone colours but wanted to follow Bonnie's colours... Maybe next Quilt!

I have enough fabric to complete her 88x88 size quilt (I missed how big it was going to be LOL)
I am doing HALF the amount of blocks at this time.

For this step I have used my blue PRINTED fabric (instead of blacks)

Here are the green I am using

and these are the finished blocks (20 in each pile) I had them laid out but after stacking them together I went threw my chain stitching frenzy and the greens where not beside the green I wanted, but I think it will work.
