Yes, half the people posting in this thread are changing the colors, and quite a few are also working from stash.

Sharyn, do you know if Bonnie has a Flickr group or something similar, where people can go post pictures of their version and look at everyone else's version?

Okay, found this from the other thread on the links. I still need to do my stash diving. I did look at the color wheel of her combos and tried to duplicate it with what I have alot of. So mine is going to be aqua, blue violet, red orange and some other color towards pink violet. I don't have many lights so will have to figure out how to do that. Maybe I will have to face the crowds on Friday and use a Joann's coupon to get some neutral fabric.

This is my first time trying one of her mystery quilts. I plan to do the small one as it will be the biggest quilt I have ever done. I really shouldn't be starting this project as I have tons of other to finish and want to do some scrappy memory throws with my Dad's shirts that I deconstructed last weekend.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I have never followed one of her mystery quilts on-line. I was fortunate enough to take a one day workshop with her about 1 1/2 yrs ago and am working on that quilt. Yeah, I need another project like a hole in the head! But this seems so exciting. I haven't had a chance to look through my stash. I'm hoping I get to do that on Friday.

I'm excited for the mystery. I pulled my mother in law in too... My colors scream Halloween orange, black, white, purple and green. All are a type of print instead of a solid. I'd rather not buy anymore fabrics till at least January. Call it stash anxiety...where you want to use up older fabrics from other unnecessary splurges.

I have to go from stash this yr. I tried to last yr., but didn't have enough of the aqua,orange & greens so I ended up buying some & swapping fabric w/ my sister to have enough. So this yr. I'm going to change colors & use up older fabrics from my stash.

Someplace in that 1st clue, there is a reference to a Monday Link up...maybe like a Mr Linky so you can link to a picture? I have not done one on her site, so not sure just how that goes. I am sure she would have a way to post even if you are not a blogger. I will check it out on Monday. Can't wait to see what everyone is doing!

I don't know what either of those are!

I picked my fabrics from my stash. I was able to get the rulers from JoAnns and they happened to be on sale. Don't know if I'll be able to get to cutting any of it today, but I did take the time to watch her videos.

For Bonnie's LinkUp you need to have a Blog or Website! I think we are using the other QB site for posting our pics. Frustrated Quilter already posted a picture of the ones she has finished.
