Where do you get the paint chips?

I have mailed out the extra paint chips I had but have 1 set with only 3 in it but I can easily get more if anyone needs them. I live within 5 miles of 2 Lowes.
Just PM me if you need any.

There are three "values" of each color on the chips. Bonnie said to use the darkest value on the green, and the mid and lighter value on the aquas. If you do this, the colors are not so similar. She actually stated NOT to use the dark aqua, as it was too close to the green.

I ordered from the computer pictures which are not very close. My turquoise is way darker than the card but my green is also way darker than the card. Everything was in stock! My yellow and pink are close and the black and white are fine!
When I see the first clues I may change my mind.

Judging from the intro photos, Bonnie seems to interpret the color cards with quite a bit of leeway with respect to value and intensity when picking her fabrics. The hue seems to be the thing that she keeps constant (i.e., blues with a certain amount of green in them, greens that aren't too blue). Since I want a scrappy look for my quilt, I'm pulling some pretty questionable blue and pink multi prints from my stash. I guess whether they work or not will depend on how we're going to cut them. Once we get started, I hope I'll be able to tell what's working and what's not! I don't quite get how I'll know without having a picture of the whole quilt to work from.

I wonder what the illusion is, in 'Grand Illusion'?

I'm sure that will be a big part of the mystery!

I am going to do this one too. I did the Celtic Soltice last time.
I have all her colors, some already gathered up and some need to get put into my project box.
When her first clue comes out, I will be ready.
I decided since I don't have enough pinks and turquoises, I bought a few yards of a few colors that will make due. Bonnie says using one color for each one will work good in her quilt too . SO shopping for the rest in my stash.
And since i do so many of her quilts, I am loaded up on neutrals.
Love her work.
Took a workshop with her in GRanbury last November and hooked for sure.
The second picture is one posted of her FB. Love their choices.
And it's all about scrappy.....

All caught up again on everyone's comments. Looking more and more exciting as everyone posts their comments and fabrics. I have got to go up and start pulling what I do have. I haven't seen any colors that don't look good to me.
