Good Fortune Mystery Quilt

These are my colors for the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. Find all information here: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/good-fortune-mystery.html
As I really loved the selected colors I chose to stay very close to her color choices, including the "tricky blue". I tried to replenish my stash of this color and in Joann's I found only 2 in the right shade. Of course there were many more blues there, just not quite the right shade. Before I had tried my luck in a quilt store, where I found another 2, lucky I had some in my stash.
The reds remind me of sealing lacquer and a  pendent a good Chinese friend had brought me from China. The greens look like different shades of Jade and the background fabric has cool undertones.
Right now I am sewing the orange strip sets using phone book pages. Not done yet, but so far I had all clues done by Thursday evening, neatly trimmed to the right size.

Here me sewing on my recently bought vintage Japanese Domestic sewing machine. I cut the background fabric into strips 1" bigger than the desired finished sized triangle square. Mark squares on the strip and zig-zag line diagonals.
Layer with a blue strip of fabric the same size. If the blue strip will not cover a whole square, cut the background fabric off at one of the squares and layer with another blue fabric. This is very efficient. After sewing on both sides of the diagonal drawn line, you will cut at all the drawn lines. Press triangles into squares, press toward the dark fabric. I used a bloc loc Triangle square ruler with a convenient grove to square up. Find more info here: http://blocloc.com/
