So there is another mystery coming and for me it is not really a mystery. Special Projects, at my guild is doing a 3 part mystery starting in August and I am one of the people who is making up samples.
It requires 3 fabrics with the background a 3 yard piece. I didn't have any 3 yard pieces in my stash as the only large pieces I have are dark prints that I use for backings, so I went shopping. I did it spur of the moment but I knew I had several different blues in my stash that would work for the dark fabric that I needed 1 and 3/4 yards of so I just needed a background and another piece 1 and 3/4 as an accent.
I originally selected the light blue and yellow batik as my background but then I switched backgrounds when I selected the yellow. I auditioned several blues from my stash and this is what I decided on:
At one point before I went shopping I thought about breaking up an old UFO and using those fabrics for this mystery. In 2010 I took a class in Eleanor Burn's Day and Night and used three fabrics in the one block I made. I thought I could use that fabric and eliminate a UFO at the same time. Unfortunately I had precut the fabric for the quilt, so I couldn't use it. Also I bought the fabric in 2005 or so from Eleanor Burn's tent sale in Paducah so it would be difficult to match the teals. It is light teal on a creamy white, dark teal and red violet as an accent. I don't think the red violet shows up well in this pic but it is a nice color combo
