Awhile back I asked for help in picking fabrics for a mystery quilt some of us in my guild were making. I chose a picture with the colors I liked and then picked the fabrics with your help. Here's the picture I used as my inspiration...
*********************************** “May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”
Here are the fabrics...except I change out a purple and the cream.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Gonesewin,

That is really great!!!! Your fabrics worked beautifully. That's something I wonder about with Mystery quilts. You really don't know where the colors will wind up.
