The colors are "brown, red, raspberry (or double) pink, green, and neutrals" and it's fun to work along with others making the same quilt. Here's a link to her blog:<br />http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2010/10/mystery-has-name.htmlCandacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-44467833575171003192010-10-23T16:09:42.097-05:002010-10-23T16:09:42.097-05:00Or, if you aren't excited about any of them, a...Or, if you aren't excited about any of them, and the first three are all large starry quilt, how about considering doing a smaller sampler? Even some applique? Fat eighth bundles work well for samplers. Wild Goose Chase is a fun pattern. I also like Village Square by Whimsicals. I hate it when I am not totally excited over my next project. I know you will pick something beautiful.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889518100132887182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-1757948569077592872010-10-23T11:30:24.345-05:002010-10-23T11:30:24.345-05:00I love Yankee Pride, I've never seen that one ...I love Yankee Pride, I've never seen that one before...need to find it...and I also love Birdseye (I have a few of those blocks done and love them...they're really not bad to do)...I think brown is the right color for now...oh who am I kidding I think brown is always the right color.

I should have known better and added you to the crazy house. LOL! I was just updating my 2010 list with those quilts that were completed and those that are being pushed to 2011. I also added the fabrics that I assigned to the projects so I won't use it for another project. I had aimed for 12 this year but Summer was so crazy that I won't be meeting my goal.. I think next year I'll try to squeeze more during spring in case I get overloaded at work in the summer.<br /><br />As to your next project.. I agree that Birdseye has alot of the 9 patch blocks and if you are getting out of another project with that block maybe a break might be in order. I wish I would have picked up that kit. The colors look perfect and since I picked up the pattern after Nicole completed her quilt, I'm fabricless on this one. I think that Park Ave pattern suffers the same problem than the Birdseye. I love Maison de Garance line but the square in a square and 9 patches in this pattern seem to be more of Route 44.<br /><br />I fell in love with Shenandoah Valley as soon as Tara posted it. I struggled not to by the kit because I had just started on my Two Piece puzzle (also by Tara) and that quilt was red/Cream and Black. The similar color tones made me hold off on picking this pattern. When you think about this one, keep in mind that it has a LOT of HST which you are already working on for your Belle Mead quilt. Do you want to make MORE HST at this moment?<br /><br />With that said, I just trimmed down my selection to either Nottingham Star or Yankee Pride (which I had never seen and find lovely!). At this point it's all about the how much effort you want to put into it. Sometimes I feel I need something quick and easy to cleanse my palette so to say before I move into a more complex pattern. If after Ashcombe and Route 44 you need that, go with Nottingham Star. If you are up for anything, go with Yankee Pride. It has alot of dimension to it and the star in a star adds alot of interest to that sawtooth block. It's a project that has some meat to it! LOL! <br />Anyone you chose will ultimately be a winner because it's what speaks to you that really matters and they are all wonderful projects!Strladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625786795904630105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-46153784910018489532010-10-22T18:31:39.562-05:002010-10-22T18:31:39.562-05:00I thought I was a freak that kept an ACTUAL list f...I thought I was a freak that kept an ACTUAL list for my TBM (to be made) quilts.

I really do. I've been thinking brown lately, too. I've collected a bunch of them and a bunch of creams with the idea of a Shakespeare in the Park. But the current brown and red rage is beckoning to me. I made one quilt recently from French General's browns and reds and loved it. But I'm presently trying NOT to use just one line of fabric for my next project, so perhaps the SITP will be the right thing. My second choice among your possibles would be the first pattern with the red for the brown. Will be interested to see what you decide.Nancy Near Philadelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803134620826322075noreply@blogger.com
