I agree, it does seem like a really large total fabric requirement!! I have never made one of Bonnie's quilts before-----or never done a mystery quilt for that matter!---so hope I am not getting in over my head. But it will be fun doing it with all of you!!! If it doesn't come out well it can always be a picnic/utility quilt!! This is rather exciting.......

Beautiful fabric assortment, Thart795! Your quilt is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it as you work on the units.
I still haven't decided what to do about fabric selection. I've got Bonnie's colors in my stash but not sure if I want to go with those, modify them a bit, or come up with something completely different. My last 3 quilts have had reds in them and I'm ready to work with some different color combinations. Need to give it more thought, I guess.

Last year was my first time to do one of her mystery quilts and I made 9 blocks instead of a whole quilt. If you want to save fabric, you could just make a smaller number of blocks. I think I made 1/4 of what she said and then in the end maybe made a few more to get the size I wanted.

I must be a dumb as a mud fence. I went to http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2015/...allietare.html and cannot find the instructions. Please lead me by the hand w/directions. Thanks.

The neutrals in my stash are a bit too dark/yellowey/printey...sigh....so went to whites and there were the Divine Cream, and Italian Ice (looks to me like skim milk)and even cream on white print ...soooo....a happy camper/quilter now!

My fabrics. I guess I am going very scrappy. May add the turquoise blue in place of some of the red or gold. Have to see when we start putting units together. The kind of slate blue print on the top left is my grey.
