Mystery Quilt – Step 2

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Hello Mystery Quilters! I apologize for the late post for Step 2, I have been battling a bout with food poisoning (caught it out of the country…not here) for the past couple of weeks and just getting back to normal.  The next clue for the quilt is available in the shop. If you haven’t joined us yet, it is not too late! Pick up your FREE pattern in the shop and join us on our Mystery Quilt adventure. We will have a reveal party and viewer’s choice contest later this summer. Lots of fun!

Your completed Step 2 pieces should look like this:

It’s a Mystery

Fabric Choices-high contrast works best

Fabric Choices-high contrast works best

Have you ever made a mystery quilt? If not, they are fun! I made my first Mystery Quilt several years ago when a local shop was running a mystery quilt project. It was perfect for me as a new quilter. I did not really know what I wanted to make and I was a little bit uncomfortable in the quilt shop with so many fabric choices! The mystery quilt required just three fabrics so I did not have to make many overwhelming decisions. Perfect! The shop also posted what the quilt looked like, so I could make sure that my pieces were accurate as I went along. In the end, I had a gorgeous quilt that would have looked too intimidating to me to try if I had seen what it would look like in the beginning. Now that I have a quilt shop, I wanted to pass on this experience to others, so if you have not picked up your FREE pattern at the shop, please join us by picking up your pattern next time you are in the shop. I would like to thank Nancy, our Mystery Quilter for making the sample that is in the shop and providing these great pictures of her “in progress” Mystery Quilt. Let us know what you think!

This quilt will be completed in six steps, this is what the completed Step 1 looks like:
