Here are the fabrics that I have picked so far. I have not measured any of them yet to see how much is there. I know I have enough lavender, purple and yellow. I will have to get some more greens as some of these are only scrap pieces. Not sure about the magenta. Neither fabric shown is enough so I guess I will have to look for something else. I have plenty of neutrals to pick from yet. Anything seem out of order here?

Love the fabric choices shown so far. I'm on the fence about doing this mystery. I did two of hers and never finished them as I got too far behind. The one I regret not doing was the Celtic Solstice, as it turned out to be my favourite.
I probably have the fabric for this one if I stick to single pieces for each colour. I know some of the "movement" is lost that way, but it sure makes the piecing easier for me.
And I love the blue option. I'm not a fan of purple, but this quilt wouldn't be for me anyway.
Decisions, decisions....

The Allietare mystery was my introduction to Bonnie Hunter, and I made the Grand Illusion quilt this summer. Her blog and quilt cam have inspired many quilty ideas since the last mystery, and so I am eager to get started on the En Provence mystery. I found a picture of Cezanne's Mont Sainte Victoire and used it to inspire my fabric selections. I'm still working on it, but this is my starting point.

OK....I think I've got it now. Spent some more time in the stash this morning and made some final decisions. Luckily, I even had something perfect for the binding (bias print stripe fabric at top of photo) so I'll only have to shop for the backing fabric. We have 24 more days until the first clue posts. I'm ready to get started.

Whittles is again carrying the mystery quilt fabrics. https://www.whittlesfabrics.com/fabr...ystery-bundles
I ordered the neutrals and will see what I can pull from my stash before ordering any more.

Those are so pretty, char7439. Your values are different from Bonnie's, though, which means the pattern may not emerge as clearly as you would like, or may look a bit different from her quilt. That magenta is simply stunning.
