Last year I made the En Provence Mystery Quilt with Bonnie Hunter.
It was a wonderful adventure in scrap quilting.
I was so fortunate to be able to show it to her when she visited Minnesota!
This was a labor of love, and once I have it quilted, it will be on my bed.
Which brings me to this years mystery quilt - On Ringo Lake. Bonnie came up with the color scheme when she spent time at a cabin with family on Ringo Lake in central Minnesota. This picture is a great representation of the beauty of the more than 10,000 lakes we have here.
It turns out that the family cabin I spent more than 50 years visiting is just north of Ringo Lake. Norway Lake will always have a special place in my heart.
I love the color scheme, and that it arose from Bonnie's visit to my lovely state.
Here are some pictures of my part 1 units. I am mostly done!
See the white fabric with the loon? And the brown fabric with words?
Those fabrics are both from the Shop Minnesota Shop Hop a few years ago.
I love that I can add them to this quilt.
Thank you Bonnie for another great mystery quilt to work on.
Blessed Quilting, Karen
Looks great Karen! That is a really good idea to incorporate some of your Minnesota shop hop fabric from previous years. Now I have to see what I have that I can incorporate into the On Ringo Lake Mystery Quilt.
