white pine B,C,D,E are all 2 1/2 by WOF so you could probably choose these at your LQS. they are usually rolled up and in a basket by the registar......this would save you piecing fat quarters......another option would be skinny quarters. My LQS even has 6 inch by WOF great for when you just need a bit of something or a lot of variety

I am looking forward to this mystery. I am going now to choose my fabrics. How do I post a picture?
Thanks

I am in Burbank which is in Los Angeles County in California and I noted one mystery solver in Camarillo which is Ventura County the next county north and about 75 miles

Never pass up a chance to go shopping!

But yes, you will be able to use scrappy. If you are undecided, you can wait until the next set of instructions are posted on 3/5. At that point you may be able to more easily see where this is going and can then pick your fabrics.

Really, I only have two pieces that are still a full quarter yard. But Judy, since you orginally said it could be scrappy, and just above you said we could use fat quarters, maybe I can use what I've got. I've still got a week to decide. I think shopping would be more fun.

I think six of these fabrics would go well with your mystery. Very pretty colors.

I grabbed 7, not 6, so I will eliminate either the pale yellow (currently at "C") or the pale green print (currently at "E"). The bold solid yellow is my dominant color.

So excited!
:)

Only 400 miles, Sunlit! My daughter lives in Long Beach and I am on the east side of Phoenix, 405 miles door to door. LOL
