Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2017 - En Provence
#31
Thank you for starting this thread. Very happy to be a part of this Mystery. Enjoying all the beautiful fabrics shown. I have lots of purples/pinks/greens but would like to use the turquoise fat quarters I have. Still mulling over my colors. I look forward to seeing more posts

This is my initial pass through the shelves/bins looking for Bonnie's colors. Still need to look around for more and make some final decisions on what stays and what goes back and then pull the neutrals. I'm considering a change in the magenta/constant fabric but will have to let that idea "marinate" for a while.

I have picked up the color chips, shopped my stash (but may change the constant color, although I have it), found a good box to keep it all together in, and given hubby fair warning of his impending abandonment. Now to finish off any current projects and clean up my sewing room. It is so much more fun to start a big project when it is neat and free of dog/cat fur! Especially when I know that won't last long.....

I pulled the fabrics today and will be able to use only stash fabrics. That makes me pretty happy! I will try to get a photo of my fabrics tomorrow and post it. I still haven't quilted my Allietare! because I'm so intimidated by the size of it. I had made it intending to give it to my daughter who has wanted to go to Italy for a long time. But the colors of this quilt may be better suited to her, since her favorite color is purple.

I'm impressed with how quickly so many have managed to shop stashes and how pretty the colors look together. Skipastich, the yellow with apples will look good with the magenta or lavender. Podunk, your colors and the variety of prints look wonderful. I'm with you, though, on wondering if the magenta is more burgundy, but that may well be something wrong with my monitor. I've found most of my greens, purples, and lavenders, and was fortunate to find a great magenta, but I'm not taking a photo of them until I find where I put more greens and purples. I love seeing other people's choices, because it makes me think a bit outside my comfort zone.
