NEW! Clue 6 of 6 of our SUMMER MYSTERY Quilt 2024! It's time to see the finished (and bonus) quilts!

A mystery quilt is where you pick out fabric and cut and sew according to the directions without actually knowing what the finished project will look like. You have to trust us that the pattern will work out! We tested this pattern at our spring retreat and had many who finished the quilt top and some of them even loved their quilt top! The pattern is tried and true and you will watch every step of my quilt top and learn some tips and tricks on the way. During this last clue you will see the finished quilt and a SECOND quilt we have made using Kansas Troubles fabrics! It is so pretty!

This is the sixth, and final, of six different clues. The finished size of the quilt top is 54" x 54". You can obviously make it bigger if desired. See how I made my quilt larger and rectangular versus square. Each clue contained the cutting and piecing instructions for part of the quilt. Patterns are available in the files section of our Facebook group called The Quilted Forest Friends, which may be found at this link:

The full instructions are in the video, you can easily make the mystery by just watching the video, pausing, and following the instructions as you go.

Fabric Requirements for this mystery quilt are as follows: (see video for ideas)

1 1/8 yard of a medium dark fabric
1 1/2 yard of a dark fabric
