It's that time of the year again. I am doing the Quiltville Mystery Quilt again. This will be my fifth year of participating. This year Bonnie Hunter is calling it Good Fortune. You can read about the mystery quilt and all it's instructions as they come out here.
The mystery quilt has the premise of using fabric from your stash based on the colors she has chosen to use as a suggestion. She always refers to her color choices using paint chips. Using the paint chips gives you help in values. I am choosing to use up some more of my Thimbleberries scraps and picked these to match the values on the paint chips.
The colors are published on Halloween, and the first clue comes out on Black Friday, and the final revel will be on New Year's Day. I written before in past Mystery quilt posts about her thinking of doing this during the biggest holiday seasons.
Many of us quilters no longer have families around to gather and celebrate, and by doing this Mystery quilt, they can get involved with a group of quilters around the world to keep their minds on something fun during what could be a hard time for them. It gives them a place to connect and share with others.
Stay tuned for progress as I do this Mystery.
Warmest...
Renee
