While I was in the quilting mode last week, I decided that I needed to finish this quilt - I completed the top last year, and even had basted it, but had a hard time deciding how to quilt it, so there it sat. After finishing the previous quilts I determined that it was time to get this one past the finish line (and replenish my safety pin supply!).
This was the first Bonnie Hunter mystery that I started - and the third one I've fineshed! There was a lot of piecing in this quilt, but I really love the cheerful colors, so I'm glad I persevered and finished it! It's heavy, lots of seams, but it quilted up nicely. I used one of the new spools of Aurifil that I ordered last week to quilt this, and a lightweight cotton pellon batting. I'm just about to the end of the roll that I ordered in 2020, so I guess it's time for a new one - will have to keep a look out for a good sale.
Such happy colors with the orange and yellow! I used a spiral design for the quilting, and it worked out well, even with all the seams. Lots of scraps were used in the process, that's for sure!

Beautiful quilt! Bonnie Hunter's patterns are my favorites, but I have not done this one.
May I ask if you quilt on a domestic or long arm? Your quilting is so lovely!
Such a cheerful and happy quilt! I love your colors
Wow--that's just wonderful! I still have to finish the top of her mystery from 2014. Congrats on your beautiful finish!
I LOVE the colours in your Celtic Solstice!
Congratulations on the finish! There is a TON of piecing, but well worth it in the end!
Happy Quilting! Gail
