I've heard so much about Bonnie Hunter and her scrap quilts that I signed up for her class next Wednesday sponsored by Surfside QGuild. She'll be the speaker on Tuesday morning. Hope she gets some down time on Tuesday afternoon, evening because I understand she will have 40 students!
Before Wednesday rolls around I need to have cut and bagged 864 2-1/2" squares and 432 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles. I still have a hundred squares and a hundred rectangles to cut. And it feels that all I have done for the last three days is cut fabric. I am trying to use my scraps, some of which were already cut into 2-1/2" squares, but have had to cut into some yardage to get the balance of light and dark. I thought I had more fabric with black backgrounds, but I may have to stop at a fabric shop tomorrow so there will be a variety of different black prints in the quilt. Such a trial!
If I multiply the requirements by 40 students I see there will be about 34,500 cut squares and 17,300 cut rectangles in the class room. That is a lot of cutting and a lot of fabric. And I hope it will be a lot of fun.

What fun! I've made a few of her patterns and she definitely is into lots of pieces! Taking a class is on my bucket list. Enjoy!
How much fun! I'm waiting for the next chapter in this quilt's assembly. Oh, and to need to shop for more fabric? Tisk, tisk, tisk! Sounds like a wonderful workshop!
Congratulations Del. A Bonnie Hunter class will be such fun! Have a great time. I enjoy reading both of your blogs from New Zealand so don't expect to ever to get to a Bonnie Hunter class. I have been to Visions Quilt museum and thoroughly enjoyed it.
