Love your colors Mary. Now that I'm back home, I really need to look through my stash for just the right fabric. Unfortunately my heart and mind are still in Ohio with my family. :(

Yes, it was on the first page when I posted.

Okay--finished, but too tired to deal with pictures just now. :) I chose fabrics and did today's clue (x6--since, I want a bigger quilt). I'm going to reserve judgment on my A fabric until I see how big we cut it--I think the one I chose will work, but if not, I'll find another (I'm not short of fabric!). I decided not to go scrappy this time--when we are done I might make another.

Thanks, Judy--I love these mysteries. :)

Hey lawsonmugs, your fabrics are great. This is my first train ride, are we suppose to guess what to do with the pieces our engineer has told us to make? I need a snack......

I haven't done a mystery for a while so decided to do this one. Wanted to do Halloween but having trouble deciding. But that's always my trouble. So maybe you wonderful ladies can help me. I wanted to use the candy for "A" but thought it was too big and too much background. So then I thought I would use the pumpkins for "A". Then I thought maybe the yellow was too bright and I should use ivory. Oooohhh, the possibilities. Someone please help! You would think that at my age I would be able to make decisions. Nope!

OH WOW DD I love your fabric, a girl after my own heart. That pumpkin material is soooooooooooo cool.

Made 3x the amount, want larger quilt, but will have to add in with borders. I love to do E. Burn's twisted ribbon border. I think it would look really good in yellow and orange with black background.

dd, Love your Halloween colors and I like both of the blacks. Since we aren't cutting "A" yet, maybe your decision can wait until we see how big the cut pieces will be.

dd--Your pumpkins look much the same scale as Judy's A fabric to me. Nice choices.

DD I love the pumpkins, and I love the fabrics you have chosen to go with! I enjoy sewing for fall, so many beautiful options! I might make two also, the gray and pink for my great niece and a fall table runner for me!

My UFO's have been surprisingly fun to work on. When I quit sewing about two years ago, I just stopped! put everything in boxes and now I am having fun trying to figure out what I was doing with each one! Almost like a mystery quilt of my very own, that could end up very different than I originally planned!

There are going to be some beautiful quilts in here judging from the fabric I see!
