Hi everyone- I'm planning on jumping in with this years mystery. I must admit...I have the same "plan" every year! LOL I love the anticipation, excitement, and quilting community aspect. My only finish-to-completion quilts are En Provence (gifted to my daughter), On Ringo Lake (gifted to my son), Rhododendron Trail (hanging on my dining room wall, and Frolic (on a quilt rack in my bedroom, but was on the wall). I really really wanted to make Old Town...made a zillion flying geese! But, the past 3 years (after our big move to Florida from New York, I was not only working full time, but had to pick up a second part time job to make ends meet. This past August we were financially stable enough that I could drop the 12-18 hrs a week part-time job. Whoo-hoo - I can do the mystery Quilt this year, thought I. I can't say I was excited for the colors, namely the pink. Only because I had two quilts recently finished that have a good amount of pink. I like pink, but kinda feel tired of the color. So I pulled deep browns, golden yellows, and robin's egg blues, and the white print/neutrals, of course. But I keep looking at Bonnie's purples and pinks and can't dismiss how cheerful they are. So back to the stash and starting to pull softer pinks and peaches, along with the purples. I didn't think I would have enough of the ice blue, so I dipped into my gray stash and found some that could work. I'll try to post a picture later. I'm at work, on a break right now.
