Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017 - En Provence
#172
I can't believe me this year. I have done the mystery quilts for the past two years and loved doing them. In those two years I lived 1 1/2 hours away from a Lowes and managed to get my paint chips. This year I am only about 15 minutes from a Lowes and have yet to get my paint chips! We have been busy getting settled into our new home and building my studio, but I do plan on doing the mystery this year. Love the colors and need to get busy!

I enjoy seeing everyone's fabric choices (and progress as the mystery is under way).
When I went to Lowe's and got the chips, I was okay until I got to the Hibiscus (magenta). Holy cow!!! Bright colors are not in my crayon box, lol! Thought about using a few shades darker, but as I went along I just kept pulling other colors entirely.
I've finally ended up with blues for purple, lighter blue (but not baby blue) for lavender, green, pumpkin for yellow and red for magenta. I only pulled out a few of my neutrals, but have a LOT more (I'm a neutral hoarder!). Strips in these colors will be pulled, also.
Due to vacation plans, I already know I will be way behind on this one, but am okay with that. I'll have to save the hints and check in to see how others are doing when I can (won't have internet access most times) and will catch up eventually as I love Bonnie's quilts.

Peaceandjoy, I love your fabric choice! I am still on the fence with this mystery, but if I were to do it I think I would use your colors! I'm going to print out each clue as it's released, and see what happens. I have plenty of UFOs to finish up. But I am excitably watching everyone's process! It's fun even as a bystander
