| Bonnie's paint chips of the colors |
While I like the colors, I don't have salmon fabrics. I considered purchasing some fabric. Then, I looked at the boxes of bits in my stash and said to myself. . .'Get a grip. . .use what you have!"
I barely had enough of the aqua fabric. The red was easy to gather. Then I "got" to decide what color I was substituting for the salmon.

| My fabric pull minus the neutrals |
Then, I pulled my yellow scraps. I've been picking up a fat quarter here and there as well as picking up bits from the free table. I liked the way the yellow would interact with the red and the aqua. So yellow it was! I've lots of neutrals and most are already prepped.

| Some of my background fabrics |
I had already prewashed the red. I had one fabric I the aqua that needed to be prewashed, All have been prewashed, dried, sized with Faultless fabric sizing. The Stayflo liquid starch that I used in the past is no longer produced. Faultless merged or bought out Niagara so sometimes both names are listed on the label. I've raided my "precuts" for strips that work with my fabric pull. I'm ready for clue number one!

What a great color combo, it's going to be a fun mystery! Well done with all the prep work.
Thank you for sharing, and I'm looking forward to see how you will sew clue 1.
Good job using what you already have for the mystery! I often have to remind myself to do that. I'm not a fan of salmon (other than the fish!). Yellow seems like a good color to replace it.
I have done a few of Bonnie’s mysteries in the past. Looks like you have a nice selection of fabrics chosen for your quilt. Gail at the cozy quilter
Everyone loves a mystery and whatever you make will be lovely with that color combination!
Fun to see your color choices, Terry! I'll enjoy following along as you sew this mystery. Bonnie's quilt designs are always beautiful!
You were so lucky to have your granddaughter to help out! I have never done her mystery, I'll watch from the sidelines:)
What a beautiful fabric selection for the mystery, Terry. I can not wait to follow your progress on the mystery quilt. It is so sweet that you have a little helper in the quilt room when she comes to visit.
That is going to be so pretty. I like how you chose what you would use
I love your color choices! Thanks for reminding me that it's time for the Bonnie Hunter annual mystery. I don't have time to work on this now, but I do like to collect the patterns while they're available. I look forward to following your journey with this mystery!
Ohhh, so fun to see your fabric pull! Can't wait to see what BH does this mystery quilt round!!!
