Last night I checked several times hoping that the next Frolic clue had been released, but eventually went to bed before it arrived. When I woke up this morning, I found an email a friend sent probably about 10 minutes after I went to bed, telling me that the mystery had been revealed!
Bonnie's quilt is amazing. I hope my colour scheme will be OK. My first block:
I was happy to see lots of neutral fabric around the edges of the blocks, which lightens the whole thing.
About 4 hours after completing the first block, I had three more plus sashing pieces, and had had enough sewing for the day. The blocks are not quick to put together, although I did speed up a bit as I went.
This gives me more of an idea how the final quilt will look in my colours:
I think it will work. Phew! I haven't decided exactly how many blocks I will make, and whether I will set them on point as Bonnie did, or straight. I also haven't decided what colour to use for the cornerstones. For now I'll just keep plodding along assembling blocks.

So good that your colours are going to work after all your doubts. It is a great design. No setting triangles, yeah!
Your colors are lovely--I can imagine it takes time to make just one block...nice work hugs Julierose
You have very nice colors of blocks. It will be a great blanket. So far I have compiled Unit 1.
I have grandchildren visiting, my time is for them. Marie
Your colours look good and I always think all folks Mysteries come together beautifully no matter what colour they use..
You weren't far off with one of your guesses...
It is a lovely reveal. Now to get all those geese done. Your blocks look like they will come together quick enough.. Have a great day.
A lovely combination of colours. I like the “lime green”. Adds some zing to the quilt top.
I'm sure it will be wonderful whatever you decide ...xox
I Love your Frolic blocks. The purple was such a good choice.
I am really liking the way your blocks look! Your toned color scheme is perfectly balanced. Look forward to seeing what you decide between straight set or on-point. Go to say, with what you have here BOTH ways work!
