Bonnie Hunter's Chilhowie 2022 Mystery Quilt - Introduction

 

Bonnie Hunter's Chilhowie 2022 Mystery Quilt

There is no denying that the end of October each year is a special time - Bonnie Hunter releases her annual Mystery Quilt.  This year it is called Chilhowie, named after a town in Virginia USA.  I have spent some time looking at colour options.  Firstly, here is her colour choice, taken from a range of beautiful Iris flowers.  This is a bright option.

Here is a softer option, with lighter tints of aqua, purple and orange.

Or how about the same colours in more traditional fabrics?  These are remainders from my Dear Jane quilt, made up from Kim Diehl fabrics.

However, reading Bonnie's Introduction, it sounds like she has just chosen her favourite colours from a range of different Iris flowers.  So why not choose your favourite colours too?    There are only three colours and a neutral this year, which I think makes it much easier to improvise with your own colours.

Still deciding whether to take part, depending on my other workload.
