Every year I tell myself I will wait until the reveal so I can make choices with understanding, but I always get carried away and have to join the fun. Maybe next year. If I could make any changes to this year's quilt after the fact, it would be to use a single interesting neutral for that faux second block. I really like the quilts I've seen that have a distinctive constant neutral.
I did not find the mystery as much fun the year I used constant fabrics, but my fabrics weren't all that interesting. However, I could definitely appreciate the less busy appearance of the top. Some year I hope to find some really interesting constant fabrics to use.
