Easy Street - Part 3

The next part of Bonnie's mystery was posted early Friday morning and thanks to the calendar on my iPad it woke me up at 5:00 am - and I was sleeping so good, but it was Easy Street day so...............

I had been following Bonnie's colors for step 1 and 2, but now changed to the warm side of the color wheel for my next color.  As I have the Easy Angle & Companion Angle rulers I used the posted method of creating the block.  The block name is "Brave World" or "Mary's Triangle".

I noticed today on the google group - Quiltvillechat - that a number of people were talking about a youtube video by Deb Tucker.  She called the same block - shaded 4 patch, but it required the purchase of a chart that was only available by mail.  Then I remembered earlier seeing a post on Kati's blog where she had done a tutorial with mesurements for part 3, using the Deb Tucker method - so I sent a reply.  For anyone else that is not a member of Quiltvillechat - www.katisquilting.blogspot.com.



 
As I was making these blocks I kept thinking I had done these before and realized that they were the same blocks that were strung together to form the outer border on  - Orca Bay - last years mystery.
 
Happy Sewing,

  10. Love your colors... so patriotic... I have a ton of fabrics red white and blues... I kind of wish those were the fabrics I picked for this quilt... Maybe the next one.

    I am getting anxious for Friday and the next clue.
