You can do this! Mainly it's just lots of sewing and loads of fun. I enjoy seeing everyone's choices coming together and learning together. I have become, I think, a mystery quilt junkie. I especially enjoy those who choose different colors and their confidence with it. This is my first Bonnie Hunter mystery to change the colors and I actually didn't stray far just chose civil war colors and prints. The corals were a problem so I went lighter rusty reds. I thought about cheddars or double pinks.
If you love the civil war prints, I think you would be happy with the result.
If you are unsure of any of the clues or whatever, just ask here. I am always amazed at the talent here on the Quiltingboard.
