After reading through last year's thread, I am planning to do the Grassy Creek Mystery this year. But I also have a problem with grays: my stash cupboard is bare. In addition, I'm not really feeling the fall colors, maybe because I just worked on 2 quilts with gold and barn red.
My stash is mostly 'Thirties fabrics, so I'm using that as a jumping off point and plan to use the following colors:
Red=Blue-Green
Orange=Green
Gold=Butter Yellow
Parakeet=Cardinal
Gray=Blue-Purple
Light=Light Yellow
Photos in both color and black and white are attached.
I have already visited my local quilt shop to add to my palette but probably still need more options to keep it scrappy. I am thinking of just using a single fabric for my lights, but I have 3 that are similar if I change my mind.
Can't wait to get started. -- Suz
