HappyLab... I am obsessed with that purple on the lower right! Do you think I could find some somewhere still?

I’m not sure, I’ve had the fabric for several years now. I’m not even sure the store I bought it from is even open now. I’m really hoping l like this year’s pattern. In 2 months I will know. If not I’ll like the colors.

I’m also looking for some batik background, but so far haven’t found it yet. Still looking. So far all fabric selected is from my stash. Another positive.

Do you think it will work ok to use solids for the green or would I be better off to go buy some green with some texture to it?

Her quilts are usually so busy solids aren't a problem. Some people use all solids and they have turned out lovely. The only issue is if she uses "strings" again but you won't know that until they are used.

Love the colors this year! The colors fit right in as three of the colors are similar ones painted in my home so a quilt will fit right in. Could you guess that my scraps and stash fabrics match too?

I'll try to match the fabric cutting to accuquilt dies.

It sort of scares me to down load Chrome stuff, to access the patterns. is that what everyone else did? the one of hers that i did years ago, i could just click and see the stuff right on her site.

sewNso: She includes a PDF file that you can print. Sometimes I will snap a picture on my phone of patterns I like but there are usually several pages with Bonnie’s Mystery clues each week.

I am not clear on what you meant by this. What patterns are you wanting to access? Were you perchance talking about the clues for the mystery? Those will be available on her blog, same place as the intro to the mystery.
