    Thimblebug, those colors are perfect! I'm too exhausted to keep going this evening too. Could, but started getting sloppy so I'll have to finish later. I ended up getting though part "C".

    I love everyone's progress and colors! Good job everyone! I've copied the clues but am not likely to start on this quilt anytime soon.

    I've just learned about this mystery and feel drawn into it already. I absolutely love your fabrics, JanieW and Thimblebugg.
    Since I'm already doing the Bonnie Hunter mystery in two different sizes (and noticeably behind) this one will be on the wait list. Looking forward to seeing all the finished quilts.

    Thimblebug, what a wonderful result! Is the purple your dark, and the other colors are mediums?

    I also downloaded the clues for another day. I started to look through scraps and surprised by how many blues I have. I wonder what this would look like in a scrappy blue?

    Love following the progress.

    I've printed this out, will be great to use up candy squares. I think this would be fine in totally scrappy. In looking at the finished lap quilt, I'm going to sort differently. Will use either one neutral for the "lights" or an assortment of them (white/cream) and then sort all my colorful candy squares into light/medium/dark and put the mediums back into the box. Unless there is a good contrast between those two groups, the secondary pattern won't show up. However it's a neat design going totally scrappy with the medium/dark group and not taking that into account when sewing. I think this would be really neat with two colors (neutral and contrast) and again, you could sort the colors, such as dark blue scrappy and light blue scrappy (and again, don't use anything that could go either way) and then the secondary pattern would really stand out.

    Make sure to download the pattern of interested, as the free version is taken down after a short time.

    Yes, the purple is my “dark”.

    Thank you Thimblebug6000, I have printed the pattern off and had already pulled some fabrics. But now looking at your quilt has me lusting for something similar. You do amazing work. I am anxious to see your finished work.

    I have the first border on. It looks wavy but just needs a good pressing. This has been a tough slog. I will be glad to see it finished. I'm doing this for a friend and it's hard because I'm not fond of the colours she chose.
