Where has the time gone. It has been a very busy time and I want to start by congratulating my students who have just completed their City & Guilds courses. I feel very proud of them and enjoyed showing their beautiful work to the IV.
As I haven't posted for a while I am going to start the New Year with a Mystery Quilt Challenge.
As I haven't posted for a while I am going to start the New Year with a Mystery Quilt Challenge.
A mystery quilt can be a bit scary as you don't know what the finished piece will look like but I have broken it down into small sections leading to a wonderful finished piece.
To get you started I will give some clues.
1. My mystery quilt pattern is made from 2 blocks, both of which have a finished size of 18" This means that if a full quilt is too much to start with you could make a block or two and they would make lovely cushion covers.
The quilt is a throw rug size of 60" x 60" but blocks could be added to make it into a bed quilt.
2. You will need a light (fabric A), a medium (fabric B) and a dark/patterned (fabric C)
See quantities below, I have allowed for a border in the measurements.
Fabric A - 1.25 m ( 1.5 yd)
Fabric B - 2.50 m ( 2.75 yds)
Fabric C - 1.5m ( 1.5yds)

I would like to thank Tudor Rose Patchwork for their help in choosing a different colour combination for the mystery quilt
