Happy to share this finish! It is Bonnie Hunter's Winter Mystery (XXI), Lupine & Laughter. It is one to mark as done on my 2026 UFO List. The colors of the quilt are inspired by the Iceland Trip with Bonnie and Quilters. Lupine is a species of flower that grows all over Iceland. There is a lot of controversy over the purple lupine flowers, Nootka Lupine. It was introduced as a reforestation and soil reclamation effort. The controversy surrounding the flower has to do with outcompeting native plants, biodiversity loss, and encroachment on protected areas. Icelandic authorities and environmental organizations are working to strike a balance for the lupine. I bring this all up so you might understand why I am naming my quilt Kontroversy. This project was fun to sew. I did not think that I would like the colors of the finished project, but Bonnie has a way of making design and color work...
I played with my sewing machine's stitch options. I have done this before on a couple of projects, but in the years I have owned my machine I could count them on one hand. My Sunshine BOM is a box of candies from the company Cupid Candies. Makes me smile =^.^=
That's it for Wednesday.
