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!
