Welcome to our 2nd Annual Mystery Quilt Along!
Last year’s Gypsy Queen Mystery QAL was such a huge hit that we couldn’t wait to dive into this year’s project! As with Gypsy Queen, this will be a FREE Quilt Along – so tell your friends, your guild, your sewing circle! The instructions will stay on the blog, but only until the end of August. Once “the cat’s out of the bag” the traditional pattern – put together in a non-mysterious way – will be available for purchase.
Some Quilt Details:
- The quilt finishes at 80″ square. As Blue Print #1 (see below) is used for binding, please plan on getting additional yardage Blue Print #2 for any additional borders if you’d like to up-size.
- Beguiling has a fresh, summery-yet-sophisticated feel. I’ve put our sample together in a complimentary palette of blues and gold.
- The difficulty level is somewhere between a Very Confident Beginner and Intermediate. The pattern uses Half-Square-Triangle and Half-Rectangle blocks, Flying Geese blocks, some traditional piecing, and some “Stitch, Trim, & Flip” type blocks. No applique, templates, or special rulers required. It’s very straight-forward construction, but there are lots of tiny blocks, so accurate cutting and piecing skills are a must!
- If you’ve liked our Aspen Glow and Gypsy Queen quilts, then chances are you’ll love this one too!
Quilt Kits:
We have a very limited number of quilt kits in stock. They’re currently on sale for $115 (reg. $150) + shipping and they’ll be shipping out the first week in February. They are currently available in our shop.
