    These are just my colors there, LOVE them. I think all of your color play nicely together, and really should look pretty any way you put it, the one thing is for me, I tend to think of inner borders as being the dark, bold color, so I may choose the red one for that and save the white for one of the accents. But this is just my imagination, of course, I got now clue how the pattern is going to look like, even though Missy thinks that I read her mind, :mrgreen: :lol:
    I love it! that red just makes it sing,huh? I think Candi is secretly watching over my shoulder.. :) But nice choices.

    Ladies this is so exciting. I have hit my boxes and found an imported piece of decorative bug material and then the rest of the coloured material is our local South African material and it goes so well. I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
    Could you Mysik and Candi please give me some advise onto which material should be which colour block. Focus is of course the bugs, background i was thinking the dark pink/purple colour, then further i am stuck :cry:

    I have not found the cutting instructions for the strips. This we are getting later?

    Thanks again Mysik for opening this site for everyone to make the mystery quilt from your own design. ;)

    Ok Cuddle, here we go.. ready?
    Focus- of course the buggy fabric
    Color1- variegated stripey
    Color2-Green
    Color 3-off white/light grey (it's kind of hard to tell which it is..lol)
    Color4- medium pink
    inner border- rose pink
    accent-yellow
    2nd accent- pale yellow
    Background -dark pink

    I have not found the cutting instructions for the strips. This we are getting later?
    Right now it's on the figuring part, I made a few math mistakes. I added the chart for the cut list so it could be easier for us to figure what is what... it's an addition to my original pattern, so I don't have all the kinks worked out on that yet.




    Thanks again Mysik for opening this site for everyone to make the mystery quilt from your own design. ;)
    Everyone is welcome! I wanted to do something fun and well here we are!! Thank*you all* for joining and being patient..

    Hi Cuddly! Wonderful fabrics! You mentioned that some of your fabrics are "local South African material." Could you describe what they are? I'm always in new fabrics to lust after! LOL

    Missy, I WISH I could be watching over your shoulders! Suspense is killing me!! Good thing I am busy and can stay distracted

    :mrgreen: It is a lot of fun, I may get addicted to doing mystery quilts and then you just *have* to design quilts for us to keep us solving mysteries :XD:
