Keep in mind the neutral doesn't Have to be the lightest color of your group.

Carol, it just occurred to me that if your tans/browns represent your oranges, you still need a 'green,' if I'm understanding correctly that your layer cake=blue, red=red, white=neutral, brown/tan=orange.

This is what I have in my stash in Bonnie's color families (that aqua peeking out under the blues is part of the quilt underneath). Value is another matter. Every year I range far from the suggested values, and every year I regret it, so if I'm smart I will not think of using the dark greens. These certainly are happy colors!

Carol, would you have a reproduction purple or a medium gray print you could try with your colors?

Pretty group, Lisa. Those two med. greens in the center of your green row look just about perfect.

Lisa, I like your fabric choices and can imagine that is what Bonnie is suggesting - I like your collection of neutrals. Through doing these mysteries, I've learned that I don't do total scrappy very well (esp. with the neutrals), but then seeing how others jump right in with the wide variety I sometimes wish I did get a bit more risky.
Here I go....for sitting on the edge I'm spending a lot of time and thought with my choice fabrics. This is what I thought my colors would represent as I wanted the largest % (aside from the neutral) to be the blue, so the blues will replace her orange; tan/beige replace her blue; the rust replaces red, and the dark brown replaces green.
Thank you Kassaundra....I always appreciate everyone's insights and like several others am anxious to see your fabric collection.

My real fabric won't be chosen until after the reveal. I will be using stand in fabrics for the units I am assembling during the mystery. I am wanting to incorporate fussy cutting and or directional fabrics and won't know where they can be effectively used until the reveal.

I agree - there are numbers on the top and bottom of the chips and are not very visible (old eyes LOL). And, yes, they were scattered all over the place. Some were on cards with a color family and others were individual.

Quilted Twins has a fabric bundle with the colors needed for Bonnies Good Fortune Mystery Quilt. They will vary the fabrics somewhat in each bundle but the colors will be what is needed if you follow Bonnies color choices. They do not have her pattern. Go to her site for the pattern and clues.

Battle Axe, I just read your entry after I posted this message. Have you received your bundle yet?

Hello all - I have a set of all the paint chips for this mystery that I would love to send to anyone who can't find/get them and will use them!

Just send me a pm with your mailing info and I will ship them out right away

Mariposa, thanks for starting this thread. I plan on doing scrappy and have to hit my stash and fill in with FQ if need be. I love reading everyone's comments and look forward to seeing fabric selections.
