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...

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.
