The yellow is a buttery gold but remember Bonnie does scrappy so she will have many different fabrics of the same color family in her quilt. If it looks like aqua, it goes. If it looks med to dark pink it goes. If it looks grassy green it goes. As she said black is black and neutrals are anything lighter then a brown paper bag. It's fun so don't stress over fabric. When you are done you will have a quilt top made out of your stash. Isn't that better then having the fabric stuck on a shelf or stuffed in a bin? Yes!

Jean: BH has said many times that even if you don't finish each step, just make a few so when the reveal comes you can make your block. I think it's a great way to participate if your time is limited.

I love the bright yellow, pink, green and blues but I do not like using black in quilts. I'm not sure there is a way to make this without it. Maybe a navy?? Anyone else thinking of switching out the black to something else?

Just picked up the colors, I love them. I haven't done one but I may have to do it this time. I love how she said, if you want a smaller quilt make half the blocks. I think it's a clue for those that don't want an 88 x 88. Perfect.

I'm in on this one too! I've done the last 3 mystery quilts and it was so fun watching everyone's progress and comments along the way. I haven't started pulling my fabrics yet, I'm wondering what I could use to replace the green - - - I've always followed her colors in the past, but seeing how some of the quilters have changed up the colors in the past, I've thought of trying something different too!

I'm betting her next Quilt Cam session will provide lots of information/clarification regarding this new mystery. It will probably be the main topic of conversation that night. She said she would be back home on the 17th and would try to fit one in when she got back so we could all talk about it. I think I'll wait to make my decision on fabric until after Quilt Cam. I went with her colors for Celtic Solstice but am thinking of changing this one up a bit.

Can you tell me a little about what the "Quilt Cam" session is? I haven't followed a mystery quilt before but would like to do this one.

Not sure I have enough of scraps for this. I do want my quilt to be scrappy and short on funds. Would purchasing charm squares work or are these just too small to use.

Glad you asked, I'm in the same boat. I've done MQ's before but not with Bonnie, excited to do one with her.

Bonnie occasionally does a video session as she sews on her projects. It is not a class but you can work on something while she does and it's a lot of fun. here is one example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COItF4Eu81Q
