OK Mom.. here we go..
Bkg- White
Color1-Dk blue
Color2-burgandy
Color3-green
color 4 light blue
accent-dk pink
2nd accent-light pink
inner border- orange
Focus- floral

How did you figure all that out? This what really frustrates me when I want to do a mystery quilt. I always worry about having a really dumb fabric in the most obvious place. How do you figure what to put where?

That was my concern so I asked for help. I can't wait to see these together.

I hope I can wait until the 30th!!

Welcome ladies - most of us feel the same. Missy has been fantastic in helping us all with putting our fabrics in the right places. Going to be so exciting to see each week what our squares are going to look like when we get to share them. Thank goodness for digital technology :thumbup: and very caring and sharing quilters out there giving up there time and experience for others.

Perhaps I can find my fabrics on Tuesday. I think I have some really nice florals that go together. I'll see what I have.

Usually I look at the picks that the hostess makes. Then I find something that I like and 'emulate' if you will what she has..Then I'll ask her what she thinks.. and go from there. Mysteries are a leap of faith, loss of 'control' per se.. even a get outside your comfort zone kind of learning process. Most times they turn out great.. others.. just ok. But w/ the choices everyone has made I think these will be of the 'great' category!

I hope that I can get the block done the day you post, I am also trying to do the BOM on the 1st and the 15th.

How long did you say this mystery will last?

I washed my fabric today and decided to try a color catcher I just baught. I put all the colors in together and the white fabric came out white! I am going to try to get to the cutting tomorrow.

Cool! I'm glad that worked. You were brave to put all those colors together. The mystery will last as long as we have clues.. and then the clues will probably remain on the board or my blog for awhile. Where is the link for the BOM.. I may be interested. (like I need something else?!!)
