ReplyDeleteI can’t wait! I did the malted mystery one and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI still have fabric for one Un mystery quilt...but I did make progress last time on finishing two mysteries. I didn't have the courage to do it as a mystery the first quilt, but my comfort level has been improving as I like your quilts and have started the last two as a mystery.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to just follow along for at least 2 months. My sewing room is upstairs and right now I can't navigate stairs due to an injury to my hip. Lots of rehab ahead of me. Told them my goal is getting upstairs.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed last year’s mystery, my first. Perked at the design, but decided I am going full mystery mode this year!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait, Loved your mysterys in the past. Very excited about this one! thank you for sharing this mystyery with all us quilters.
ReplyDeleteI would like to duplicate the pattern sample colors that you show in the Sneak Peak of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThey are so me! Can you recommend a kit for those colors? The fuschia, 2 greens, teal and white?
The colors used in the illustrations are just colors, they are not actual fabrics. Looking at my Moda Bella color card, there are no exact matches, but if I were to pick fabrics that matched I would go with:
DeleteFabric A - 214 Berrylicious
Fabric B - 265 Kelly Lime
Fabric C - 267 Sprout
Fabric D - 142 Little Boy Blue
Fabric E - 110 Dark Teal
Background: 98 White Bleached
The Fat Quarter Shop typically has every Moda Bella in stock.
