Her corals look fairly subdued to me (speaking of her fabrics, not the color card). The aqua seems brighter to me.
It's amazing what you can find when you scrounge. It seems I do have enough coral fabrics (though very subdued) to go with Bonnie's colors, at least for a smaller quilt. I will feel more confident once I get those color cards. Now I need to go look at those fat quarter bundles I have, to see if any would do for an alternate colorway.

Well, these colors are definitely among my personal faves, so I am making this mystery for sure! I may need to get some of the coral/melon but maybe not - pretty sure I can get this one 99% from stash! Will pull some later tonight.

I can’t wait to try this one. Using brown is Definitely out of my comfort zone! I tend to avoid it like the plague. I’m excited to try something new and stretch my wings a little though. I ordered the rulers this morning and am ready to go! Now to just finish my other 3 WIP’s before Black Friday.

Your fabrics are beautiful and mellow, NZQuilter!
None of my fat quarter bundles seem suitable for this quilt, so I'll go with Bonnie's colors.
I only have the one brighter coral, and they are all pretty small pieces, so I don't know how far they'll get me. I will probably re-think the busier neutrals and look for some quieter ones.

I told myself that I would not do it this year as I have too many other projects, but it is so enticing and I love the colors Bonnie suggested plus the prints that are already posted. You ladies give me courage to step outside my box.

I wasn't planning to do it either, Carol in WI, until I realized where Ringo Lake is located. I was fairly close to it this summer when I was shop hopping. Lol! I hope to find the lake when I next visit relatives in that area.
Goofy reason to do it especially since I haven't worked on last year's mystery since January,

I really like Bonnie's colors this time better then any other I've seen, but I don't have those colors in any quantity in my stash and was really wanting to use mostly or all stash so I will again change the colors I use.

I also like Bonnie's colors but am determined to work from stash. I have browns but little or no melon and turquoise. I may substitute pink and blue for those colors. Or I may go a completely different way and use purple, grey and pink. Will pull them tomorrow and get pics for opinions.
