Usually I look at the picks that the hostess makes. Then I find something that I like and 'emulate' if you will what she has..Then I'll ask her what she thinks.. and go from there. Mysteries are a leap of faith, loss of 'control' per se.. even a get outside your comfort zone kind of learning process. Most times they turn out great.. others.. just ok. But w/ the choices everyone has made I think these will be of the 'great' category!

2nd accent-light pink
inner border- orange
Focus- floral
How did you figure all that out? This what really frustrates me when I want to do a mystery quilt. I always worry about having a really dumb fabric in the most obvious place. How do you figure what to put where?
