Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents as opinions were asked for. On a few of the pictures I've seen the aquas and greens are very close in tone and value. This may end up causing any point where they touch in the design to be blurred in definition. Although Celtic Solstice had no curves pieced the placement of colors created that illusion. Try a simple squint at it test with the 2 colors side by side. If they sort of melt together you may need to go lighter or darker with one color. MJ

Well, I've finally got my fabrics picked out from the stash. These are not my first choice but my husband really likes them so I'm going to use them. My choices were a little more subdued and had more pattern variety but I asked his opinion so am stuck with the result! In the end I don't think it will really matter because Bonnie's patterns look great in just about any color.

That's what happened with me, Pam. I read the thread and was swept up in the excitement. I had never thought about doing a mystery quilt before.
