I'm sorry you won't be available, Podunk! We will really miss you!

I think I come across as kind of brusque and bossy when I post, and someone with a warm and welcoming style would be better. Would anyone like to take the lead this year?

Macybaby, those photos are a real eye-opener! I always want a bunch of fabrics that look like your second photo, and I always end up with a bunch of fabrics that look like your first photo, LOL!

I love that dandelion brown fabric, but I think the top group of browns look better w/ your other fabrics.

I plan on joining in on Bonnies Mystery this year and will follow along with all of you here on QB. I did not do the En Provence, but printed out the directions for my bucket list. I love that quilt! This willl be my second MQ. I love the colors this year, so I will stick to the colors Bonnie has suggested. Love Aqua and Coral.
@osewme - download or print out clues each week (pattern) and make it later after you see the reveal. That's what I did with En Provence and hope to make that one some day.

For those of you who like Bonnie's colors, but don't have much in your stash, Whittles Fabrics has put together fat quarters again this year. whittlesfabrics.com

@katybob - that's great! Thanks for the information. I just looked at the fat quarters. They look spot on. Very convenient for those who do not have a lot of stash to shop.

So smart of them to make a collection! I bought these from Fat Quarter Shop. I'm not sure they are 'exact', but combined with my stash I think these will be fun to work with. (Plus they will work in my stash even if they don't work in the mystery.)

These are some of my options. Each group would need some enhancement. For the purple/gray/pink group I need more purple and pink. I'm not sure about the brown/blue/gold group. I thought the golds might work but looking at the picture I might add pink or coral. There might be enough in the blue/coral/yellow group to make a half size quilt. I'd use a very light background on all three, possibly just one fabric.

@katybob, thanks for that link. I was having a great deal of trouble with the coral, so I ordered Whittle's coral group. I've ordered from them before and been pleased.

I am not much of a pink lover, but I think your best group is the first pink / purple group. Second choice for me would be the last blue and brown group.

quiltsRfun, those top corals are beautiful!

I think with each of your fabric groups, it might be hard to get enough contrast between the lights and a neutral. In fact, looking at the photos, it struck me that the lightest group in each photo could represent the neutral (excepting those darker grays). So for each group, you would just need to bring in another color.

I think the corals and grays in the first photo look very nice together. Same with the blues and browns in the third photo, but have you checked that photo in black and white, to see if there is enough value difference between the blue and brown? What if you brought the peaches from your second photo down to the bottom group?
