20th Mystery Quilt Train Ride
#201
Dot - I have done it before but not for a long time. I tried to dye an all blue sunfaded quilt in my new, smarter than I am, washing machine and that didn't turn out well. It was purchased quilt. My grands baby sitter does it with the kids all the time. Maybe they could do it for me! LOL

I think your greens are beautiful. The leaf print does go dark and light and because it is such a big print, IMHO when you cut it up, some will be light and some will be dark so I don't think it will work. Judy may have another opinion.

I thought about doing the red, white and black but then Judy said you needed 2 colors plus the white and dark. I can't tell you how many quilts I have ever made but this one is really bugging me. Maybe it's because of who it's for. I guess I will do white, red scraps and black. I have a piece of tie dye with all the colors in that I can use for the back but I'm not sure it's big enough. I may have to add something to it. Now that I have written this, I must stick to this and just reduce the stress factor, right? Yes, Right! Thanks craftyjulz and everyone else for your help. I'm still finishing #19 mystery quilt. lol
Hope your trip is going well Judy. Can hardly wait until the next clue.

craftyjulz - she said we don't need the dark yet, right? Figure I have time to look for a red and black that is darker to use for the dark color. My HST are finished and waiting for the next clue. Can't wait. Have grands this weekend so won't get anything done this weekend.

Train Ride #19....After seeing photo's that some of you did on the last train ride, I decided to ride that train while waiting for the next clue on Saturday. I choose yardage to do mine; I have all the units done and just have to sew them together. Here is the first one completed.
