I am so excited there are several of you joining me on making this mystery quilt. It is only my second mystery quilt, so I always learn a lot in the process!
I ordered fabrics for this one, and here they are. If you have picked yours, let's see them!!

Your choices are great, Jeanne. I'm trying to decide between these two. Suggestions? I'm determined to use stash fabric but my original color choices were short on yardage.

Oh I like both of your selections! But if I had to pick I think it would be the second as I like the pops of color!

I think I finally have my fabric selections made. The yellow floral on the right is my inspiration piece. I just cannot decide whether to use the pink or orange fabric in the main quilt. I am leaning towards the pink because it has butterflies in it and this will be a kids charity quilt. Whichever one of the pink or orange I don't use, I was thinking might work for the binding or back. I think I am going to have to do the opposite colorway suggestion because the purple is the only fabric that I have over 2 yards of. So I am thinking the floral will go between the pink and blue. For the teal, I am going to use the FQ and the solid so that one will be a bit scrappier than the rest. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554795[/ATTACH]

The gold matches your inspiration fabric better but I like the pink with the other fabric choices.

I like both the pink and gold! Which ever you chose will be great. I am glad you are going with a dark background! That was my first instinct too, but the fabrics I selected just didn't work that way. I prefer quilts with dark backgrounds.
Our cutting clue is a week from today!! I am excited. I need to get my fabrics washed and ironed this weekend.

Thanks quiltsrfun and Jeanne. After quiltsrfun said that the gold matched my inspiration fabric the best, I realized that the gold on the pale yellow might be too much yellow and gold in the main part of the quilt quilt. I think I will go with the pink for the main part of the quilt and incorporate the gold in the binding or back. I am hoping it will give it that pop it needs at the end.
