I bought my yellow fabric this morning, and gathered up some of the other colors from my stash and scraps. Here are some of the larger pieces. I've got a bunch of 2-1/2" squares, too, that may be useful.

Edit: I'll cut around those orange flower middles in the turquoise scraps. They kind of stick out like a sore thumb. LOL!

Thanks! I couldn't make it to Lowes to get the paint chips, so I just went by the colors shown on the instruction page. Even if they're not an exact match, they should work, I think.

Go with the yellow blender Doghousemom. Sure is fun to look at everyone's stash and see fabrics I recognize. Sort of like an adult I Spy, LOL

I've never done one of Bonnie's mysteries but I think I'll join in on this one. Do we have to sign up on her site or do we just check the website when it's time for a clue?

Just follow the blog. The first clue will post the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Got the color swatches, went through the stash, as luck would have it, I have some (enough) of all the colors, but...

I still went online shopping for "something just a little better" - I am hopeless when it comes to sticking with the fabric I already own!

I got paint chips and went shopping today, too. I have hardly any fabrics in the stash that are the right colors. I'm sure I over-bought!

I can never seem to resist adding a few new pieces even when I could do the whole thing out of my stash. Love just adding more to the variety.

While I was shopping the "Spot the Dot" (clearance) fabrics at Hancock Fabrics, I was told they would all be $1 off per yard from the 19th thru the 25th! They are giving out the coupons for that this week, so stop by and get yours! $1 a yard off, when the fabric is already reduced to $2-$3 a yard, is a great deal. I'm going back for more, for my charity quilting. They have some really nice fabrics on the clearance table.
