What to Post When You Can't Show What You Are Working On?

Secret projects didn't used to be very common in my sewing room.  But with taking on the block of the month program for the guild, I don't feel like I can share much of that sewing till I've showed it at the guild meeting.  Getting a bit ahead has been my focus for the last month, so there's not much else going on in the sewing room.  If I take off all the bits and pieces of the BOM off my sewing table, here's what's left. 




Wild and Goosey along with Old Town are most of what I've been stitching on as I've been assembling the guild BOM blocks.  So not much exciting. Though I am hoping to finish off those red and beige flying geese so I can start assembling the Old Town blocks at late night sew.  

Meadow Mist Designs published the fabric requirements for this year's Magnificent Mystery last Thursday.  I did take some time to look in the stash closet to see if I could pull a palette together from what I already had (my goal with these mysteries is to use older stash, maybe with with an new addition or two). This was my first pass. 



I've wanted to make a teal and brown quilt. Not sure why, it's just a color palette I haven't tried before.  The two teals have been in the stash for years.  The beige toile at the top is the proposed background.  It's the only beige I have that has enough yardage.  Not all the fabrics touch each other (Cheryl is always really good about giving you info on which fabrics touch which).  I'm pretty firm on the teals and the dark brown.  The print, the tan and the beige toile, I'm not sure of.  There is lots of  time to decide if those work.

Teal and brown is a great fabric combination; I look forward to seeing what you settle on for Cheryl's latest mystery quilt.

That's a really pretty fabric pull for the new mystery! I like the teal and brown combination. The light floral print on the far left is gorgeous!

the teal and the dark brown look great together
