LQS 6 month mystery - step 3 - a matter of value
 

My local quilt shop is hosting a mystery quilt and we are up to month three of a six month mystery. This one definately had more to do than the last two have. There are 17 of the larger units and 72 of the smaller ones. Here are the first two steps:

In the matter of value: We had to choose a light, medium, and dark fabric - I used some of Moda's Prairie Paisley line. The smaller unit in this pic is supposed to be a HST made with the light and dark fabrics then sewn to a square of the light fabric. However, since the light is a print some pieces of it are reading darker. I ended up having to really pick and choose among the squares I had cut to find ones that contrast with the darker red. Now I'll just have to see how that fits with the rest of the mystery steps.

Can't wait to see what it ends up looking like! your fabric choice is gorgeous!

Would love to see how it come out!!

Looks like you did some fussy cutting, too. I love a good mystery, so please keep posting!

Love your fabric. Waiting for the finish piece.

Barbara - I lay that one out there because it LOOKED like I fussy cut it. I was pretty impressed, but .. it was a random thing and just turned out that way.

I think the final result will surprise you, like a mystery quilt is supposed to! lol. Anyhow, I love your fabric choices and think it will be really pretty when it's done. Thanks for sharing.

Love the colors! The quilt is gonna be a pretty one!
Please show us when it's no long a mystery!! :)
