Mosaic Mystery Quilt ++ Sponsors & Prizes


Only two weeks until the kick off of the Mosaic Mystery Quilt Along!  I am so excited and I hope you are too!  You can find out all about the quilt along here including dates, the non-mystery quilt option, and Facebook group.

New this year, in addition to prizes given out at the reveal parade in April 2020, we are also going to have monthly prizes!  All prizes will be given out randomly to those that enter the monthly and reveal parade link parties.

Also new this year is that to enter the monthly and reveal parade prizes, you will be uploading your in-progress and finished pictures into a linky party.  You do not have to have a blog, Facebook, or Instagram to enter, you can upload a picture directly from your computer and I will be posting a test linky party next Thursday you can practice with.

I want to thank all of our eighteen (18!!) sponsors for generously donating prizes for this quilt along!  Without further ado, here are the sponsors in random order...

  12. I'm new here and I'm confused.

    1. Is there a way to get to the monthly clue easily? I've been trying all kinds of things and finally found it by hit or miss.

    2. Is there a way to print the clue?

    3. Where can I find the linky party?
