I finally got the fabrics picked out for our guild mystery challenge. We are to choose background fabric for the blocks ...12" and or 6". I decided to do both sizes and found a small light colored background mini print that I bought years ago because it reminded me of my mom. For the larger quilt I chose a blue and cream Martha McClosky "Staples" fabric I purchased at least 10 years ago. The small quilt colors will be built around coordinating colors in the background. I'm planning a strictly blue theme on the larger one..going to dig in my scraps some more...
