Thank you, Iceblossom!

My capacity is way down in the last two years due to various issues. It took me until June of that year to finish my Chillhowie top, and I am still working on Indigo Way. Still, I just can't resist participating in a Bonnie mystery. My idea was to make about a dozen of each clue to learn the techniques and pitfalls, and keep working on IW. We'll see.

As it happens, I for once have all the fabric I need in these colors and won't have to buy a thing (I''ve been waiting for eight or so years to be able to say that). In fact, it is giving some much needed relief to my overstuffed shelves in my pink/peach and aqua piles. Luckily, last year's use of red was with solid-reading reds, so I have sufficient bright, patterned reds to use. I brought in a few darker pieces, too. It's not a huge quilt this year.

As always, I look to Bonnie's fabric photos for clues, and everything of hers is very busy (as is that art work she has at the beginning of the intro), so I'm going with very busy neutrals without fear (which is all I have in white). Most of my neutrals are reproduction creams and beiges.

Great to see everyone!
