On Ringo Lake 2017 Mystery - Monday Link Up Part 1

Hello fellow mystery adventurers.  I have not posted for awhile and decided the Quiltville Mystery 2017 would be a good time to start again.  This will be short and sweet but wanted to participate in the link-up.

I just have to say that I love the colors going into this mystery.  I often change the colors but these are so pleasing together that I am going with them.  When Bonnie first released the colors I went to stash and pulled all fat quarters that worked.  Here they are and I think the are yummy!

And here are my first 9-patch blocks.  Ironically I did not use any of the fabric I pulled.  I am sure I will as the mystery progresses but I am a scrap user addict (read more about the scrap user system here Scrap User's System).  I pulled my pre-cut scrap bin, found the colors I needed and started cutting.  Because most were not long strips I cut everything into squares trying to limit the number of each fabric to 8 or 9 squares keeping each block uniquely scrappy.  I had fun with the brown making each one a different fabric. See the puppy in the upper left.
              
Here is my start on the remaining blocks I need to finish Part 1 (click to find part 1 at Quiltville).  I hope to have them done before the next clue is released.

Thanks for visiting today.

Joyfully piecing On Ringo Lake,
Terry


****UPDATE 11-28 all Part 1 blocks done, bring on Part 2.****
