This is Vicki's En Provence, which was 2016's Mystery Quilt at
Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville.
Vicki chose great fabrics for this quilt--we went fabric shopping together, and have two common fabrics. Bonnie Hunter's quilts are notoriously scrappy, but Vicki went for controlled fabric choices, which I think calms it down nicely. I love the Tula Pink fabric she chose for her pink/orange stars.
It's so hard picking fabric for a mystery quilt--you don't know quite how anything is going to look.
It's hard to see in the photos, but Vicki used 4 or 5 fabrics in her neutral patches, so up close that adds a lot of dimension and character to the quilt.
A simple, curling, E2E quilting design was all that was needed on this quilt--the piecing is strong and stands on its own.
