#9 Mystery Quilt Train Ride - Who's got scraps?

I like fabrics and colors from lots of decades--some of my favorites are the 70s (and earlier) calicos (es?). My most-loved (and least loved) colors don't change much, nor do the types of prints I like. I'm not so fond of today's popular fabrics--geometrics/aquas, sherbet oranges, yellows, greys--I tend to like rich jewel colors in florals and complicated prints. That said, I just love fabric!

I decided I would use patriotic colors.....there are some awesome color choices on this train----I always agonize over my choices...I love the purple one and the brown squares with the plaids....Looking forward to the next clue....hope I can use the fabrics that I have laying beside my blocks....

This mystery is sure easy so far....and I am sure I will make more---with different color combinations....all the pictures on here are giving me lots of inspiration....
Later on in the summer, I might have to do this pattern again using my patriotic color scraps...I have lots of them! At this time I am using some fabric in the stash I need to use up, not enough of 2 of them to use for much else. So this time it won't be scrappy. Having to work on it slowly inbetween making the 5 quilts I'm working on right now...still doing my 4 patches. ![Frown](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/frown.png)
