Bonnie Hunter's new Quiltville Mystery for 2014 is called "Grand Illusion". She got her inspiration for the colors from her trip earlier this year to the Grand Hotel on Macinac Island in Michigan......someplace I've always wanted to go since I saw the movie "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
I do love the colors she picked so here are just a few of the fabrics I'm using. I did a little shopping this morning at Mouse Creek Quilts where they'd done some bolt pulling yesterday for their customers who are doing the mystery. The only hard part I had was finding a yellow that pleased me. I did buy 2, one darker than the other and a solid and the lighter one is a muted dot. I think in the end, the darker yellow will be the one I use but I liked the other one too so I'll have that for my stash :) I'll pull my neutrals and blacks this week and then it's just a waiting game for the clues......

Pretty colors! I loved that movie! :0)
I'm trying to decide if I want to use her color way or not. I have very little turquoise (practically none)!! But the colors Bonnie chose are so cheerful!
I had told myself I would skip this years mystery quilt ...then I saw the colors & the story behind the colors. Just might have to change my mind & do it anyway :)
