Mystery Quilt: Modern Meander
Did you miss our event on Saturday? Fear not . . . you can still get in on our current Mystery Quilt.
If you've never done a mystery quilt before, the concept is that you know the size of the quilt and how many fabrics you need when you sign up and receive your first clue. Then each month (this one runs for six months) you receive additional clues. You don't know the layout of the quilt until you get the last clue.
Fabric Requirements
Keep the following in mind when selecting fabrics. In the style of today’s modern quilts, this one has a lot of background fabric (fabric #1) and some of the background pieces are very large. Choose something that does not have a directional print for fabric #1.
Also, consider using many different fabrics for #2, #3, and #4. The yardage given for those fabrics is a very generous estimate of the total fabric that you will need, however, you can use a collection of fat quarters of various fabrics in place of the yardage for more variety.
Fabric #1—Light 4 3/4 yards
Fabric #2—Medium Light 1 1/4 yards
Fabric #3—Medium Dark 1 yard
Fabric #4—Dark 1 1/2 yards
Binding 3/4 yards
Backing 4 yards
Quilt size: 65 1/2 x 75 1/2
Cost to play: $20, or FREE with purchase of fabric for your mystery quilt top from Cortez Quilt Company.
