Bonnie Hunter announced her 2016 mystery quilt<\/a>*, En Provence, today. I haven’t ever done one of her mystery quilts, but I always collect the instructions, thinking that I will do one some day, after the fact. I am pleased to watch Pam<\/a> and Daisy<\/a> and Valerie<\/a> and others do the steps. They have made some gorgeous quilts.<\/p>\n

I have a great deal of respect for Bonnie for creating a new mystery quilt every year. I just haven’t made the plunge. I did Scrapitude<\/a>, which I love. That was a mystery quilt and I am not sure I could top it.<\/p>\n

Normally, I am quite confident choosing colors for a quilt. One problem I have with mystery quilts is choosing the colors. Scrapitude<\/a> was great because it was a scrap quilt and the background was clearly defined. In this one, I don’t know if the neutrals<\/a> will be the background. I don’t know where the green<\/a> and yellow<\/a> will end up, though Bonnie says the two colors should have good contrast with each other. I appreciate her mentioning such tips and tricks. However, I don’t want to spend time on a quilt only to have it end up as a mushy mess at the end.<\/p>\n

My color preferences are much brighter than hers. I always wonder if they would work. I did some Palette Builder work on her inspiration photos and was glad to see that she had made good choices.<\/p>\n

So, I don’t know if I will make the mystery quilt. I will collect the directions and I did order the new and fancy ruler (I love rulers!), so I am ready to go. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
