    There seem to be fewer and fewer of those for people who are non-FB.

    Need help with fabric choices! I have done one mystery quilt and swore I would never do another unless I like the color choices. So here I sit and contemplate looking at these fabrics. What do you think? Thanks. I appreciate your help.

    I like these colors. Your black & white photo doesn't show much contrast. I'd switch out the brown for something a little lighter. To me it's too close in value to the red right next to it.

    Nanny, the fabrics are lovely, nice small prints. The only question I have is which one do you intend for the background? I am not sure I see any light enough for contrast. Perhaps if you substitute one with an off white or cream/light tan solid or blender??

    Found an ivory on ivory small print and another med/ dark. Will this work or should I narrow it down to only 5 fabrics keeping the ivory as the light?

    As long as you add the new ivory piece as your light background, I think they will all work well together! Nice fall colors!
    But keep in mind this is just my second ever mystery quilt, so I certainly am NO expert!!!
