Grand Illusion - Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2014 - Introduction

Fabric Selection - Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt 2014
It's that time again - Bonnie Hunter has launched her annual Mystery Quilt for 2014 - Grand Illusion.  She launched it way back in mid-October and caught me off-guard and it hasn't been until now that I have had the chance to put my mind to it.
 
This year I have decided to NOT do scrappy.  I need to make a quilt / pair of quilts in a particular colour scheme using warm greys and soft blues, so I have opted to use the mystery quilt as the pattern using the above fabrics.   It took a while to get to that decision - I should have taken a picture of my workroom - it was covered in fat quarters as I auditioned colours for the quilt. It's a mystery quilt, so I will be living on the edge to see if this colour scheme works.

The first part will be launched on Friday 28th November, only 10 days to go!

NB: Feb 2015 - This is as far as this one got, sadly I didn't get to join in for 2014, but only a few more months until 2015 is released!

    I'm sticking with Bonnie colors again this year. it's just easier for me, even if she did include pink. Ick. I've raided my stash and made a few purchases to augment what I already have. I'll probably need more but we'll see. I'm sure yours will be quite pretty with the blues and greys!!

    I haven't made any decision on my fabrics yet - I am hoping to be able to use just stash 0). Your colour scheme looks very calm and restive.

    I'm in the middle of moving house and jobs - mystery quilt or curtains for the new house? Or continue with my Dear Jane quilt!
