I am totally in love with this color scheme of Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street pattern.
I had to remove one offending 31/2" square this morning. Somehow two of the same fabric made it all the way through final row assembly before I noticed that they were side by side. DH said to leave it...but I decided to replace it. If it would have been a more subtle fabric I might have left them together. But it was the hot pink leopard that simply just screamed at me!!!
So I fixed it and sewed the final seam this morning.
Right now it measures 65" square. I have a nice piece of pinky-brown batik that I will add as the 1 1/2" outer border...then I may add a bunch of the extra 4-patches around it then add some of that marvelous striped border that I out on my Minkee backed quilt.
I use a piece of batting to lay out my blocks as a removable unit if I get interrupted from sewing. I can simply fold the batting over the pieces and put it away and they stay put.
I have LOTS of extra pieces. Someday they will become another pink/brown quilt!
I have so much help while sewing. Each of my four kitties has to try to claim the batting as a great resting area.
I have the best husband. He is a wheeler/dealer. He found a used bass amp that I can lift!!! It weighs only 35 pounds. We had to drive a little over an hour to go buy it. But it was quality alone time for us.
Macy (on the right) has the rewarding job of moving any kitty so she can steal their heated sleeping spot. For one of the other kitties to remain after she attempts the steal is nothing but amazing! So I had to photograph this episode as evidence that they all can share.
Macy and Pearl came from the same breeder. But different breeding lines of course. I really feel confident buying from this breeder. The cats are raised underfoot in their home and are people lovers.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Lovely version of Easy Street. Reminds me of Chocolate Covered Cherries. Yummy.
I can't believe you have your second Easy Street together. Wish I was even close on my one and only.
Your colour choice is great, love the version of the Easy Street.

It's beautiful Suebee! I love these colors. I still have 2 more seams to sew to finish my first Easy Street top.
I love the pinks!! Mine is still a work in progress!

I am still putting my blocks together. I love the pink, brown, and cream color scheme. Wonderful.
I like the controlled scrappiness of this quilt with your scrappy main fabrics and repetitive backgrounds. Perfect for this quilt (imho)! And I love your color choices.
Looks great Subee, I love the colours you've chosen.
*hugs*
