Crescent Quilters Mystery Quilt 2023/24

 Crescent Quilters Mystery Quilt 2023/24 --By Diane B. September Instructions

 

I’m back!  And here you thought that you were rid of me.  Okay, actually I just missed doing the quilt, and since it’s no fun to design a mystery quilt when you are the only participant, I thought it would be nice to participate in the group long distance.  I hope to see photos of your results.  This quilt is especially easy – if your seams don’t always match, this is the quilt for you!  Any of the fabrics could be used for the binding, or a completely different fabric.  Finished size is 36” square, although it would be easy to make it a little larger by adding another border.

 

Fabric choice:

 

You will need 5 different fabrics for this quilt – 4 prints plus a background.  

 

Fabric 1:  Anything goes here!  Make sure that there is sufficient contrast between the other fabrics, especially the background.  Not necessary for high contrast – just enough to easily distinguish one fabric from another.  This fabric can be a medium print, or smaller one.  Squares of 6” will be used, so if it is a very large print, it may be difficult, but otherwise almost anything will work.

 

Fabrics 2, 3, and 4:  Smaller size prints or solids.  Again, just ensure a bit of contrast between all the fabrics.

 

Fabric 5 (background):  Choose a lighter or darker fabric than your prints for the background in either a solid or a tone on tone.

 

Fabric requirements:

 

Fabric 1:  .2 m

Fabric 2:  .2 m

Fabric 3:  .25 m

Fabric 4:  .2 m

Fabric 5:  .55m
