Friday morning the Part 1 instructions are up on the blog.........I immediately go to my sewing room and pull out the bin of fabric.............
Here are some of my favorite "neutrals"....dancing ladies, carrots, bees, chicken wire, Dr. Seuss words, leprechauns, dots etc......
Then we have our dark purple, lilac, yellow, green and a hot pink.....I am loving all of the colors!
Step 1 is 4 patch blocks from our neutrals.............
First I have to gather some "stuff"...the fresh rotary blades, a ruler, pins, chocolates and of course the required gummy bears :)
Then I got to cutting my strips, sub cutting units and then making 4 sample 4 patch units.....SUCCESS! They all came out the right size and are super cute!
First run yielded 119 3-1/2 inch 4 patch units. I cut more strips today, a few more than yesterday so I should be able to get the remaining 102 blocks made. I'm going to go work on them tonight.
Hope everyone doing the mystery is having fun, and thank you Bonnie for an easy Step 1.......

Hi Peggy...good to see you back and looks like another Bonnie Hunter mystery starts....I have my fabrics but after last years disappointment of my fabrics, I am waiting till step 2 or 3 and see if I like what I have pulled. Love your dancing ladies!
Hi Peg! Yes, it is that time of year again. A wonderful time of year, especially that we get to be the recipients of Bonnie's gift to us—The Mystery! I love your neutrals. The are all so interesting. I still need to purchase more fabs to add to my purples and greens, then should be set. I didn't get the ruler ordered in time, so waiting on that. I'm hoping to work on most of the mystery during the two weeks of winter break from work. Take care and can't wait to see your progress as we go along on the mystery! Tammy
