When choosing your fabric, of course you’ll want fabrics that go well together but don’t underestimate the power of choosing the right values. If you don’t have 3 distinct values this mystery quilt may not work!
With the right values chosen, you can't screw up this quilt so be creative, take a chance, and enjoy the process. If you love your creation, it's a bonus. If you hate it - give away and start again! It's only patchwork, cupcake! xoxom
