FOR ALL MYSTERY QUILT CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS: 

(Please disregard the instruction sheet that was handed out at the September guild meeting…this page contains more information and should be easier to follow.)

The quilt consists of twenty-seven (27) blocks.

Finished Quilt Size:  48 ½” x 54 ½”
Finished Block Size:  6” x 6” 

As with any quilt, your choice of fabrics is personal.  The following paragraphs contain information to help make your fabric decisions easier.

Materials Needed:

Assorted Light-to-Dark Colorful Prints:  1 yard  (You need enough of this fabric to cut twenty-seven (27) 3 ½” x 3 ½” squares.)

If you are fussy-cutting a “focus” fabric you may need more than the 1 yard of the fabric.   Stephanie used Tula Pink’s "Tiny Beasts" fabrics.  She had several fat quarters from that line in her stash and cut out different animals for each 3 ½” x 3 ½” block.  

Complementary Fabric:  1 yard         (This fabric should complement your 3 ½” x 3 ½” blocks.)

Stephanie chose polka dot fabric to complement her "Tiny Beasts" focus fabrics.  She had an assortment of these in her stash.  Out of this fabric you will eventually need twenty-seven (27) 9 ½” x 2 ⅜” blocks.  If you decide to use an assortment of fabrics instead of just one, make sure each one measures at least 9 ½” x 2 ⅜”.  

Light or Dark Solid:  3 yards   (This is your background fabric as well as your border and binding.)

You can choose any solid you wish.  If you choose a dark background fabric then your “complementary fabric” should be lighter.  If you choose a light background fabric then your “complementary fabric” should be dark.  Stephanie used a dark blue since her other fabrics were lighter.  

Light or Dark Print or Solid:  ¼ yard

If you are using a dark background fabric, keep this one light.  If you using a light background fabric, make this one dark.

Backing:  3 yards

Batting:  53” x 59”
