Of course, I took pictures of every single Bonnie Hunter design I could find! 🙂 I also included the description of each quilt … usually following the quilt, but some of them came before the quilt … I’m sure you’ll figure it out!

PS: If you want to do this mystery, make sure that you download all the clues before the end of the month! Continue reading
