Mystery Revealed! It's a Scrappy Wonder!!

 Bonnie of Quiltville revealed the layout and  completed Mystery quilt this morning and I was super-surprised. Click on the link above to see the quilt Orca Bay. It is totally awesome! I couldn't figure it out beforehand at all.  I did think that maybe the star blocks would be on point so I love how Bonnie has designed them to look as if they are on point.  I also could not figure where the two - 3 1/2" quarter square triangles would go so I was surprised to see that they went in the border.  The border is wonderful.  
A great big thank-you to Bonnie for sharing this wonderful pattern and for walking us all through it step by step.  Very generous. 
My colours are different than Bonnie's so my quilt will look a lot different. I have dark/medium blues where she has black and I have yellow where she has blue.  My goal was to use what scraps I had and not to buy anything new.  Did that. I still have hardly made a dent in my scraps though.

I sewed a few of the rows together to see how everything fits and so far I don't have any problems.  So, I must get off the computer now and get some power sewing done, there is still a ton of work to do. 
Happy New Year!
