Mystery Colors

Do you like mystery quilts?

For me, the jury is still out!!

While I enjoy learning new techniques, I am always torn that I don’t know what it will look like at the end.

This makes choosing colors and fabrics extremely difficult.

Some years ago, I signed up for a mystery quilt and had NO idea where to start, so I pulled out photos of a favorite trip to the Bahamas…..

….carried them to the quilt shop and found……

Then I looked at this photo of Jenny and the ocean…..

…. and decided to add a fun Kaffe fabric to the mix…..

Now, I would never have thought to put these fabrics together, but I love how the quilt turned out…..

This photo is not quite as saturated the actual quilt, but I sure liked it!!

Even better was getting to give it to our friend in China as a baby gift……
