Good Fortune Clues 5 and 6

I got a bit bogged down last week (Christmas and all!) but I'm catching up. slowly but surely.
Here's a sampling of the units I made for last week's clue:


And here's a photo of a few of the strips I made for this week's clue:
I realized after I took this photo that I left some of the strips much too wide. Bonnie's strips looked much better cut slimmer. But no worries! I can chops some of these strips up where the fabrics are too wide   and reattach them to other strips to make them more attractive, and more fun.

Good Fortune, Week 4

I took the easy way out, or at least one of the easy ways suggested by Bonnie, and cut groups of 4 rectangles from a variety of oranges from my stash. Easy week for me!

Good Fortune, Week 3

I'm excited to be cutting up some of my green scraps!
Here's a sampling of what I've accomplished so far on this week's clue:
I'm finding it a challenge to sew seams that have a seam allowance that's just a scant 1/8 inch wide. I told my husband this morning: "if this wasn't Bonnie Hunter telling me to do this I would NEVER do it, I'd be so afraid that it wouldn't come out in the end. But I trust Bonnie, and I'm going to try it."

Good Fortune, Week 2

Here are the units I've made so far using the 2nd clue in Bonnie Hunter's current mystery quilt:
I know I have a big stack of neutrals stashed away someplace and I'm going to find it before I continue on this clue so my neutrals will have more variety. I'm using Bonnie's triangle tool to cut these units from strips. I bought the tool for an earlier mystery and I totally love using it. It makes creating these units so much faster and easier than the way I used to make them.
I'm still having fun and looking forward to the next clue!
