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 the last clue you will see the finished quilt and a SECOND quilt we have made using Kansas Troubles fabrics! It is so pretty!

Join us every other Sunday for this mystery quilt! This is clue one of six different clues. The finished size of the quilt top is 54" x 54". You can obviously make it bigger if desired, I will share some options during the last clue to make it larger. I will also give you some ideas during the last clue if you want a rectangular versus square quilt top. Each clue will contain 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:
