This is the new mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter Grand Illusions.
Last week Bonnie released the colours for this year mystery so we can prepare
our fabric selections for the first clue next month. Here is the link to
Bonnie's post if you are interested in joining us.
The colours for this year are yellow,
green, turquoise, pink, black and neutrals. Now I find it hard to do scrappy
but this year I have been working on my fear of scrappy with the Leaders &
Enders Challenge and after a few wobble of I can't do scrappy it's not me.
I am ready to take on this year's mystery quilt as a scrappy quilt. So we
will see how I go.
Here is my selection for the quilt I may
adjust it once we start, there is a couple of fabrics I am not sure about but
we will see what happens. I was very pleased with myself that I was able to
find most of what I needed in my stash I was worried about the turquoise and
the yellow but the turquoise was ok, (one may be blue and a couple may be
closer to aqua but we will see if I use them). Yellow was the only problem in
the end, no yellow as it is the only fabric for the quilt that you needed yardage
and I didn't have it. Not a huge yellow fan, that is why. So it is the only
piece I had to purchase. Very happy the stash has a dent in it and room to add
some new fabrics to it in the future and I did get to buy one new fabric and of
course I brought a little extra for the stash. I look forward to starting this
project next month but in the meantime let's finish a couple projects off, time
for some sewing.
Until next time
Keep Stitching
