Lovely colours, quiltsRfun, but I think your second set is missing the dark punch that the chocolate browns are supposed to give it. I'd go with the first set.
I'm planning to use yardage, as I almost always do. I'm not too fond of scrappy quilts, and the 2 Bonnie Hunters that I've done scrappy are my least favourite quilts. Not sure of colours yet, but the yardage requirements mean I have to go shopping. My stash doesn't run to pieces over about 2.5 yards. I like her picks, but I always like to be a bit different, so who knows where I'll end up. Hoping to hit a sale this weekend with a friend.
A group of us are going to get together every Friday night to work on the clues, and I can't wait for it to start!
