Roll Roll Cotton Boll - Bonnie's New Mystery

Bonnie Hunter has just started a new mystery quilt. Go here to find the details on Bonnie's blog, or join Bonnie's quiltville Yahoo group.
I'm taking the rest of the year easy, and don't want to do the whole quilt (Bonnie makes BIG quilts), so I decided to just follow the mystery, making just a small number of blocks.
Here is the basic fabrics I've chosen, and will be further complemented by all of the little scrap bits in my stash as I find the need. I really wanted to try to follow Bonnie's colors, and I'm pleased with the results so far.
The reason I don't have piles of scraps sorted out is that I'm still learning how to choose colors that make the quilt pop. By choosing one base fabric in each group, I've got an anchor for each color. Then I can add scraps to make the quilt more fun. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Next clue is due on or about Nov. 19.
