Calling all Mystery quilters...
#111
For some of the colors I would like to use fq. I have enough of the same color to meet the required yardage. Will this work? This will not be my focus color. Or should I just look for yardage. I was thinking color 2,3 or 4. Or the main or second accent. Or would I be better to have yardage for any of these? Everyone seems very excited and full of questions :) I appreciate all the work you are putting into this for all of us!

This link doesn't work for me. I'm a bit confused about the outer border post, do we still need the same amount of fabric stated in the original list? Thanks!![/quote] Yes. Just scratch out the outer border on your list and replace it with color #4
Someone else reposted the link. There were periods or something that messed it up. here is the link :)

Ok.. here it goes.. let's start over now..
Focus Fabric- that is a big print that you like but don't want to cut into little pieces. I gave the hint of it will be cut into 12 1/2". This way you can judge and audition the colors in the focus.
Background: It will be throughout the quilt.
Color 1- This will be a main color fabric.
Color 2- This fabric will complement/or contrast (your choice) with Color 1.
By the way, I have final auditions of my fabric ..
Inner Border- This fabric should be bold to 'stop' the pattern and frame it.
Color 3- This fabric will 'play' with your focus fabric.
Color 4- This will complement/contrast (again.. your choice) with Color3.
Accent- This fabric will contrast(to "pop-out"). It will go with Color 2.
Second accent- This fabric will contrast (to show the pattern it will need to contrast) with Color 1.

Not really sure what I am going to do. I have a couple different groups of fat quarters that I bought because I really liked them but there wasn't any yardage to buy. So I ended up with a bunch of fat quarters in one print lol. I wanted to make sure that we weren't cutting longer pieces in these where a fat quarter wouldn't work. I only have a few pieces picked out so far. I am pretty excited :) And the twin and the full are the same size?[/quote]
The only place that a fat quarter wouldn't work is for the focus fabric. It has to be 12 1/2" square. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
