There’s something about a new Quiltville mystery that makes me excited to pull fabrics, explore color combinations, and wonder how all those pieces will eventually come together!
This year’s Bonnie Hunter mystery is Star of Maghrib, inspired by the colors and geometric tilework of Morocco. With rich reds, jewel-toned blues, and beautiful greens, it promises to be another wonderful quilting adventure.
And, of course, I’ve been having fun choosing my fabrics!
My Star of Maghrib Color Palette
For this mystery, I’m working with a rich combination of burgundy, sapphire blue, teal, and light gray.
I love the depth of the burgundy alongside the sapphire blues, and I think the teal will bring a beautiful richness to the design. The light gray should provide just enough contrast to let those deeper colors shine.
My sapphire blue fabrics have arrived, so I can finally see the entire palette together. It’s always exciting when the fabrics you’ve imagined as a group are actually sitting together on the cutting table!
The Mystery Begins Soon!
The first clue for Star of Maghrib is scheduled for Friday, November 27, which gives me a little time to organize my fabrics and prepare for the adventure.
One of my favorite things about a mystery quilt is watching the design gradually reveal itself. You choose your colors, follow the clues, and trust that everything will come together in the end.
Sometimes the results are surprising, but that’s part of the fun!
I’ll be sharing my progress here on The Quilty Queue as the mystery unfolds.
Are you participating in Star of Maghrib this year?
Happy Quilting!
