Bonnie Hunter has released the fabric colors and requirements for this year's mystery quilt. I love the colors. She is calling it En Provence from her trip to France. I quickly found my paint chips at Lowe's and began scrunging through the scrap bins. My husband sent this picture to my quilter daughter.
Magenta is the one constant fabric. The first 2 are my favorite but there isn't enough fabric in either piece. The one on the right has enough but I don't like as well. So I need to decide which is more important to me.
I didn't think I would have trouble finding the greens but I did. I may have to shop for a few more - oh how terrible.

Good for you for doing in on Bonnie's mystery. I am not because I already have so many UFOs and my stash of purples is not vast enough. Love your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOh you need to play along anyway - thanks for stopping
DeleteIsn't it great when you can shop your stash first and then a trip to buy the fabrics you need to fill in those empty spaces can be an adventure of its own. Looking forward to seeing your process and progress on the Mystery quilt.
ReplyDeleteyes finally the hoarding pays off - thanks
DeleteHow fun to be digging around in the stash!
ReplyDeleteI love how you are sitting right in the middle of it... great photo!
I just couldn't wait ,,,,thanks
DeleteI liked how you showed your choices with the paint chips. Thanks. Haven't had time to read Bonnie's post yet, so now I know. :) I love purples as anyone who knows me will tell you. So I might have to do her colors too, except someone is twisting me to use QOV colors. We'll see.
ReplyDeletewhy not do both LOL
DeleteYes! Thank you for sharing your colors using paint chips! Fabulous idea! Pinning that one for sure! Your project is going to be beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteso much easier to see if I have it right - thanks for stopping by
DeleteYou've got some great choices for Bonnie's mystery. I'm going to do the mystery, but I'll probably change up the color palette to match whatever I have in the stash.
