En Provence #2

 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.
