EASY TO PRINT INSTRUCTIONS
PATTERN NOTES
- Width of fabrics (WOF) for this pattern is assumed to be 40".
- A scant ¼" (a thread width smaller than ¼") seam is to be used throughout the construction of the quilt unless otherwise instructed.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
- It is suggested that a solid or a tone-on-tone print that reads as a solid be used for the background fabric.
- Due to the finished fabric piece sizes and piecing methods for the quilt top, it is recommended that fabric prints used have a non-directional design.
- Scraps or multiple fabrics can be used for any of the fabrics, but would be the most successful for Fabrics A-C. Most of the pieces for these fabrics are less than 6".
- To help plan your fabrics for the mystery quilt, be sure that all fabrics that are next to each other have enough contrast between them.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the beautiful quilts made during this quilt along!
ReplyDeleteOh how you tempt us. I love the rectangle quilt. To do, or not to do — that is the question. How silly. Of course to do!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited, let's see how many times I change my fabric choices before the first cut.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your new mystery!
ReplyDeleteHello Cheryl....I'm a little confused 🤔. Was looking through my stash after I did the sneak peek and it appears the "dark" color way may have the colors switched?
