Bonnie Hunter’s Quilts
At the Maine State Quilt Show
(Pine Tree Quilt Guild 2015)
It’s always fun to see Bonnie Hunter’s quilts at a quilt show.
Maine’s state quilt show, Pine Tree Quilt Guild Show 2015, is no exception. There were six that I saw.
(Bonnie’s web site is quiltville.com, and you can get to and sign up for her blog from this main site.)
There was one Grand Illusion, Bonnie’s 2014 Thanksgiving challenge quilt. It’s so interesting to me to see the color variations in quilts made with Bonnie’s patterns.
TWO “Celtic Solstice” quilts, Bonnie’s 2013 Thanksgiving mystery quilt.
First, one using Bonnie’s colors:
And one using red and green and creating an alternative block for some of the blocks in the center, by turning the green square pieces outward:
I love the use of wilder neutrals in this quilt. My version used fairly tame neutrals… I am slowly gaining courage.
You can see the two different blocks in this picture. Look inside the white diamond/star.
One Scrappy Trip Around the World:
Great use of the dark blocks to set off the edges. This quilt is much lighter than the one I made.
One Perkiomen Daydreams:
And one “Narrogansett Blues” with a fall colorway–which hung outside the show:
(Not a great picture here as this quilt is very vibrant.)
There is a Narragansett Blues in my future…
We can tell Maine quilters love their Bonnie. =)
