I got mine at Joann's and I subscribed to the mag as well. I was looking for a mag to sub to because the others that I used to read were just all ads. I want quilting, not ads for other crap not related to quilting!

wasnt joann's cloth world 20 years ago? i dont remember joann's being around back in those days. i made clothing then and bought my fabrics from so-fro fabrics, cloth world and designer fabric warehouse. i had given so much fabric away once i stopped sewing and only kept the really expensive silks, wools and japanese cottons i had. many of the cotton fabrics today do dull in comparison to what fabrics were like 20 years ago.
I had several yards of the on the left! LOL I used to buy strictly JoAnn's 20 years ago, it was good fabric then, but now, uggg, it looks and feels like 1st or 2nd runs, flaws, misprints. You have to check every yard and both sides. Switched to Hobby Lobby.. much better
I like your combo, rethinking mine. Thank Goodness we have lots of time on this one.

Fabric A: This is your Focus Fabric. You will need 1 1/8 yds of a multi-color print that you love. It can be a large print or directional, light or dark.
Fabric B: You will need 3 1/8 yards! Non-directional tone on tone print that is a contrast to Fabric A
Fabric C: You will need 1 5/8 yds, non-directional, small or med scale opposite value of Fabric B ( so if B is dark, C should be light and vice versa)
Fabric D: You will need 5/8 yd, Anything goes here as long as it matches the others.
I hope that helps and gets you thinking before your new mag arrives.

Thanks Susan I will start shopping the stash ASAP.
When you get the magazine, it will have 4 sets of color combinations shown for the quilt on page 41. They were very helpful in guiding what is needed. You will need 4 fabrics and they are described as this: (and this is just a short paraphrase of the description they have listed in the mag)

Okay, I finally made up my mind to do the mystery quilt. I'm using a combination of fabrics from my stash with one new one. I'm still not sure about the yellow as fabric D, so that one might change.
I had to finish a few odds and ends of projects before I could start, but I'm going to start cutting as soon as I post this.
