After I finished up making ALL of the quilts in Bonnie Hunter’s String Fling book I felt such a sense of accomplishment that for a bit, I thought about doing the same thing with another of her books.
Scraps and Shirttails
Our biggest accomplishment of this book was making THREE of these. One my top is finished but I’m waiting for Kelli to make the backing. This is Perkiomen Daydreams. 10,000 pieces in this quilt!
There are 12 quilts in this book….
Here is my list of done quilts:
Perkiomen Daydreams
Cactus Patch
Hand Me Downs
Bargello in Plaid (all made with shirts). I have a second one of this quilt in my UFO pile.
Virginia Bound is a UFO
I’d still like to make
Carolina Crossroads
Nifty Thrifty
Adventures with Leader and Enders
There are 12 quilts in the book. I have completed FIVE and have one top done so I’ll count that as 5+ done.
Here is my list of done quilts:
Blue Ridge Beauty
Crabapples
Rick Rack Nines
Nine in the Middle
Hopscotch, Butterscotch
I still have these on my list of want to makes:
Bow-Dacious
Happily Scrappily Irish
Scraps and Shirttails II
I adore this book. I could happily make every quilt in the book. I haven’t yet as they are made with shirts and shirts although economical for me, take lots of processing time. This book I would pick as a favorite.
There are 13 quilts in this book.
I have these finished.
Smith Mountain Morning
Fair and Square
Criss Cross Applesauce
Stars Over Shallotte
Rectangle Wrangle
These are working towards a finish.
Holy Toledo-UFO
Bricks in the Barnyard- a Top
All of the quilts left in the book that I haven’t done are all quilts I would really like to make. I love this quilt book!!
String Fling
FINISHED EVERY QUILT IN THE BOOK!! Find the link to them here.
More Adventures with Leaders and Enders
I have made a lot of quilts from this book…
There are 12 quilts in this book. I have made 9 of them but one quilt I made two of it.
Here is my list of done quilts:
Scrap Crystals
Four Patch X
Winston Ways
Version ONE
Easy Street Version TWO
Narragansett Blues
Lazy Sunday
I would happily make the remaining three quilts in this book. I’ve been a little intimidated by the remaining three.
Friendship Cross needs some fussy cutting
Lucy’s Baskets…APPLIQUE
Midnight Flight-everyone says it’s so easy to twist the blocks and lots of time ends up being spent with a seam ripper. UGH.
Addicted to Scraps
There are 12 quilts in this book. I have three finished.
Tropical Twist
Jingle Bell Square
I like others of the quilts in this book and I’m sure I’ll make a couple more. There are others that are higher priority on my list right now. Many of the quilts I’d want to enlarge and haven’t done the math.
String Frenzy
There are 12 quilts in the book. I could happily make the all. I do already have one finished!!
When looking back at the posts and pictures I took, oh my. I wish I had a better camera when I first started making Bonnie Hunter quilts.
If I do make all the quilts in another of the books it will be one of the following books:
Scraps and Shirttails II
More Adventures with Leaders and Enders
String Frenzy
I actually think I will make all of the quilts in another of her books. It was a crazy fun ride. For now, I’m just going to try to not make any deadlines…I need some easy going sewing for a little bit.
If you don’t have Bonnie Hunter quilt books and want a recommendation, I pick both the string quilts but I know many aren’t into string quilts…After those I’d pick More Adventures with Leaders and Enders and Scraps and Shirttails II…but that’s only my faves.
So readers…what is your favorite Bonnie Hunter quilt book? What book have you used the most? Inquiring minds want to know.
