    She did give yardage amounts.

    Green 1-1/2
    Aqua 2-1/3
    Pink 2
    Black 2-1/4
    Neutral 3

    Lots of us have to purchase even if we're doing scrappy. I bought fat quarters, quarter yards and half yards plus what was in my stash to make the total amounts needed.

    Since I'm still finishing (just borders!) of Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice and it has been a challenge and frankly, I've lost a lot of points! I bought the yellow and even bought black (since I did not have any to speak of in my stash)for her new mystery quilt (Grand Illusions) but I don't think I'll be doing it--I have several other projects that need to take priority and like one of you--I'm just not seeing this color combo. Have done a couple of other mystery quilts and have to say that I prefer to know going into a project what it will look like so that I may choose my own color combos. Especially if I end up having to purchase fabrics! I have a friend that says she only makes mystery quilts in Christmas colors because even if she ends up not crazy about the pattern, she knows she can gift a Christmas quilt!

    Michelleoc: Judy on this board will be starting another mystery quilt or table runner on January 10th. She has 7 of them on this board. Just look up Judy's Mystery Train ride in the search area for the previous mysteries. Lots of fun and awesome directions and pictures. This one will be scrappy.

    Like quiltingshorttimer I don't like mystery quilts or anything else continued, so I just print out all Bonnie's instructions, etc and wait until it is all printed, and then decide if I want to do it or not.

    sandyl: It is online. Just go to Quiltmaker.com and you should be able to find it. I found out about it when they sent me an email. I have some fabrics that I have bought to go together and have no clue what to do with them, so I may give this one a go!

    I just checked the Quilt Maker Mystery. I think the red, white, and blue colors would be a good one because if I don't like it I can donate it as a QoV. Not sure if I'll do it, but it may be fun. Of course, I need another project like a hole in my head!

    I think I may do this one, too. Red/Blue/White. Will do as I am doing on BHMQ...only 1/2. Then figure it out at the end for the actual size of a throw quilt. Just pulled my fabrics!

    TheStylishHome: I'm so glad my response helped you find Judy's Mystery Trains. #8 will be my fourth one with Judy.
