Magnificent Mystery Quilt ++ Part 6 ++ Flower Units




Welcome to the December instructions for the Magnificent Mystery Quilt Along!  

I can't believe that it is almost the end of 2025! This year has flown by. December tends to be a busy month so I kept the instructions for this month a little quicker.

The Magnificent Mystery Quilt is a free quilt-along that runs from July 2025 through April 2026 to make a throw sized quilt about 60 ½" x 72 ½" with a set of instructions posted the first Thursday of every month.  The quilt pattern is at an advanced beginner level containing basic piecing techniques (no applique, Y-seams, or paper piecing).


Easy to Print PDF Instructions

If you would like easy to print instructions for the November instructions: Part 5, they can found as a free download through my shop:  

Half-Square Triangle (HST) Units

1. Place a fabric C square 3" x 3" and a bg square 3" x 3" right sides together (or 3 ¼" x 3 ¼" squares if they were oversized).

Draw a diagonal line using a removable marking device on the back of the lighter fabric square (shown as the solid line).

2. Sew a ¼" seam on either side of the solid line (shown as the dotted lines). Cut on the marked line and press seams toward the darker fabric.

3. Trim each HST unit to 2 ½" x 2 ½".

4. Repeat to make a total of 120 HST units.





Flower Units

1. Arrange the following units and pieces according to the illustration.
2 HST units 2 ½" x 2 ½"
1 fabric B square 2 ½" x 2 ½"
1 bg square 2 ½" x 2 ½"

2. Sew together the units into rows, pressing the seams away from the HST units. Then sew the
rows together, pressing the seams open, to make a flower unit 4 ½" x 4 ½".

3. Repeat to make a total of 60 flower units.
