En provence #5 & #6 wip.... and #7 decisions


Christmas and visiting family has slowed down my progress... 
but progress is still being made.

Clue 5 is done.

And clue 6 is done...except for a bit of dog-ear trimming to finish.


Clue 7 is now a work in progress...



I am torn about the yellow... and if FB posts are any indication... so are many others. 

I originally planned on using this bright yellow  but when I laid it out I wasn't so sure about the pale lavender centers.  Then I thought about changing the pale lavender to my bright "lavender" to go with the bright yellow.


I am leaning towards the pale yellow and lavender and those are the pieces I have already made above.  After seeing the bright colors that others have made I think I have made the correct choice.   But, I will need to make up a few of these bright color blocks  to audition before assembling the quilt and regretting it later.

I have really had a lot of fun with the mystery this year and I look forward to a finish in the near future.

I haven't been able to stay close to keeping up since the Easy Street mystery.  That one I finished and is on my bed.

  2. Lovely to see your finished Easy Street in use. (Planning to quilt mine this year.)

    En Provence is such a complex design, that you can't really tell how it will look from the components. You need to get a few blocks together to really appreciate it. And when you add the border it changes the look again.
