Podunk P., I love your muted colors, too. Last year I toned things down, so this year will do the brights. I am thinking about doing the neutrals in one fabric and noticed the white with the black pin dots you had. Is that from Hobby Lobby? They have one that's very similar I've used before and really liked. :-)

I have finally caught back up with all the posts. Everyone's picks look awesome! I am starting to get a little impatient for the mystery to begin.... It's making me second guess my color choices. I went for camo, but really like these original colors. Choices, choices lol

Princess: You live close to Marshalls Dry Goods? I would be in so much trouble. If you can believe it, if I traveled that would be one of my destinations. I shop on line but would love to see the store, best place I know for blenders.
Like many of you, the longer the wait the more time to second guess my choices. It's the yellow. Mine is much softer then BH's but yellow is such a strong statement that I think it will be fine. Plus the fabric is all from stash and I like that. I will stick with my first choices, I will..............

I have returned to my first favored yellow, which I rejected after seeing my fabrics together for the first time, and thinking they looked awful. I then removed several toned down fabrics, but I think I might have placed blame on the yellow, too, as it does have some darker shading. It looks good to me now, though, so I'm going with it. I'm still trying to decide on a neutral.

Got my fabrics all in a humongeous baggie, it just sits there and stares at me. Time usually goes so fast but it has really slowed down these last few weeks while awaiting the start on the MQ. They are so much fun.!!!! Nancysp love your colors..

It will probably only take about 3 hours to do clue one, no one is setting aside their life for three months.

nancysp, your fabrics look perfect for the quilt.
What I am starting to think is, 'Will I like this quilt after seeing so many the same?' I downloaded all the clues for the Celtic Solstice but after seeing SO MANY I am thoroughly sick of it. Every one of Bonnie's 'show and tell' sessions has one or two or more of that quilt being shown, so now I am totally disinterested in it. Good thing I didn't start it. So with the Grand Illusion I just hope I don't get sick of it, too. Maybe I shouldn't look at so many pictures! ;P
