Love your machines KalamaQuilts!!! I had my fabric picked out for over 3 weeks then a friend from my Quild said you still interested in doing it in Civil War fabrics I said maybe. She said come over I got enough Civil War prints pick out what you want and bring back what you don' t use. So now I have 2 different sets. Depending on what the 1st clue looks like will determine if I do one or 2, either way doing the smaller size.

Less than 1 hour until the first clue! I've been so ready for this. I pulled fabrics within hours of the notice of a new mystery. Can't wait. Who needs Black Friday???

So, my first question with this clue..... She mentioned that the tri rec backgrounds should be orange and neutral, but didn't say what color the outside parts should be. She shows blue, but are they all supposed to be blue or should they be a variety of colors or some other color? Maybe it's obvious to someone, but not to me and I don't want to mess up the very first step!
Thanks for your help and your patience~!

Right under the pictures of the tri Rex before the videos, she does say we need 188 pairs from the blue.

How do I miss these things that are clearly obvious to other people? Thank you!

I've been dithering whether to use blue or brown, but decided on the blue. I'll probably drop the light blue from the mix. I'm also considering going with only one neutral, but would love some input on that. In the meantime I have a bunch of orange/red and blue to cut.

one neutral would tone down the scrappy affect. It's personal preference. I'm personally combing through my stash for anything that is wide enough and using it. Slows things down a little but it does use up the scraps.
FYI...I found that Marti Michell's templates 16&17 in set C make the correct size block if you don't have the tri Rex yet.

I follow with Bonnie's group Quiltville on Yahoo groups. That's where Bonnie posts too. There are almost 4000 members. The pictures of the quilts in progress during the mysteries are amazing.

I haven't been able to find the FAcebook group. I did find a "Quiltville" but didn't see anyone posting about Celtic Solstice. https://www.facebook.com/#!/QuiltvilleFriends. If there is a different link, I'd appreciate knowing about it.
