Picking Colors for Bonnie Hunter Mystery "Frolic"

This is such a fun time of the year.  I love the colors Bonnie chose for her mystery  https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/frolic-mystery.html

But, I've used fuscia and aqua in my last two quilts so I wanted to change things.

Instead of aqua I am going to use the very light green (pear grunge) that I already had in my stash.  I found the darker green polka dot on the sale rack and it will be my green.  Instead of fuscia I am going to use orange..  Bonnie's photos of Texas wildfllowers was her inspiration and when I think of the Bluebells I always thinking of the orange Indian Paintbrush flowers too.  The last 2 years of mysteries On Ringo Lake and Good Fortune both had orange in the quilt and I went with a different combination so now I have this:

I am ready for the fun to begin!

Last Saturday I went shopping with a friend and snagged some neutrals


I finished the quilt I was quilting for my friend.  I decided on no background fill...The big blocks are stitched in the ditch and the pinwheels have continuous curves.
