Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt: Challenge Accepted

Every year, Bonnie Hunter publishes a mystery quilt on her blog. It's a big deal. She releases the first clue on Black Friday, and one every week up through the holidays, and at the end of it all you have a beautiful quilt. I've watched these mysteries unfold over the past few years, but have never got my act together in time to participate. I'm still mad about the Celtic Solstice one she did a few years ago that I missed out on.

So this year I was bound and determined to pull it together and join in on all the mystery fun. And then Bonnie released some details around what colors she'd be using and where she got her inspiration for this quilt - Provence! France! Purples and Yellows and Greens, oh my!



Well, you can imagine how excited everyone is to start this thing. Facebook groups are buzzing, and Sherwin Williams has run out of paint chips in those colors and can't figure out why, and quilters all over are excited for Black Friday for reasons that don't have anything to do with shopping.

I'm going to go through my stash of fabrics this weekend and get everything picked out, pressed, and ready to go.
