I've only started one mystery quilt (and I do like the colors on it) since I've not liked the colors, and can't usually come up with different colors, if I can't picture the finished quilt. Yes, trust your instincts.

Made fewer and fewer blocks as new clues were revealed and never made the final two steps. I don't like the final design and now have this collection of block parts to try to incorporate into something else. No more mysteries for me.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-17900737068188632772017-11-14T09:29:47.733-05:002017-11-14T09:29:47.733-05:00I don't trust my instincts.

My instincts get polluted by emotions and pain at times and I need to cross check things before I jump. However, I have lived with a pile of the mystery colors for a couple of weeks and my gut still says no like. I think they remind me of growing up in the 50s and all the awful styles and colors that were around. So now, I have to decide what colors I will use or not do the mystery. <br />I loved how you solved your problem and boy, do I ever love those floral strips.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-66302537241138126132017-11-14T08:52:33.885-05:002017-11-14T08:52:33.885-05:00I agree - trust your instincts.

I realized that I didn't like them and would never use them. (And if you know how much trouble I have tossing anything that "might" be useable--well....) <br />What I realized is that the weight of those was suddenly gone!Gene Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731141629634998152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481577725397935350.post-71246855177848688442017-11-13T18:35:37.113-05:002017-11-13T18:35:37.113-05:00Yes, you should be making your quilts, not just so...Yes, you should be making your quilts, not just something that you think might please someone else.
