JCQG Mystery Quilt 2021

While some projects can be a challenge, JCQG Mystery Quilt 2021 was a joy! Yes, I did learn a few new techniques, but these were welcomed additions to my toolbox.

As with all mysteries, the clues come one-by-one. The first clue was to choose 3 fabrics but make them read as solids. YIKES! It took me quite a while to pick a dark, medium, and light that read this way. I am a bit picky with my fabrics and want to love them every time.
 
I finally settled on these:

It used to be that I was drawn to rainbow colors, but recently I tend to stick to earth tones. Have you ever recognized trends in your fabric selections? Do you tend to gravitate to a specific color?

I was so pleased as this pattern was stitching out, the JCQG Mystery Quilt 2021 was coming together!
 
As I was wrapping this quilt up, I purchased some new software for my embroidery machine. What a difference there is now in what I can do! Here is the label.
