In late October she shared her color choices for the 2016 Mystery Quilt called En Provence. As I have in past years, I've selected my own colors to make this mystery my own. It worked out great for my last two (Grand Illusion and Allietare) so I was pretty confident when picking different colors this year. To learn about the En Provence mystery I recommend you head over to Bonnie Hunter's website and read all about it under the En Provence tab. I won't repeat it here.
I was feeling pressed for time, so I picked a single print for each of my colors. That was going great until the first clue came out. Then I had to race to the store and buy all those black-on-white prints. They are something I don't have much of, so it wasn't that traumatic. I've since added a couple more prints to the stack but you get the general idea from this photo.
I took my time, and a couple days, to stitch up clue number one.
As I usually do, I made more than I needed, but only by a handful. If you want to know how many are required, I'll just point you right back to Quiltville.
If you haven't joined in, there is still plenty of time to get started. Don't delay, the pattern is only free for a short time.
If you want to see some of the other great mystery quilts you need to go check out the link party hosted on Bonnie's site.

ReplyDeleteIt's looking good so far, Becca! I love the pops of colors you've chosen to go with the black and white prints. It's going to be a beauty!
