Mystery Quilt - progress so far

I decided to participate in the free Marble Mystery Quilt Along with Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs.  Cheryl does a mystery quilt every year.  I've participated twice, and though I've sat out the last few years, I always love seeing all the different versions.  I didn't want to sit on the sidelines this year!  Cheryl's mysteries are set at a nice, slow pace.  If you are interested in joining in the fun, you can find the details here.  Cheryl also offers a sneak peak if a true mystery isn't your style.

I am making my version of the Marble Mystery as one of this year's teacher quilts.  It will be for the new media specialist who says her favorite color is orange.  I went through my stash of Island Batik and picked out three fabrics in different shades of orange: Peach, Marmalade, and Dandelions in Pumpkin.  I needed one more fabric that isn't the background.  My local quilt shop had a beautiful yellow floral (also from Island Batik, of course) that I thought complimented the oranges really well.  It's from the recent Vintage Charm collection.  

Clues for the mystery come out the first Thursday of the month.  I'm currently caught up.  I can't wait to see how this turns out!
