1. Quilt-Along Instructions - The monthly instructions will always be posted to my blog as blog posts and on this main page. Within each instructional post, there will be a link to an easy to print, downloadable version of the instructions.


2. Prizes - There are tons of great prizes for the Marble Mystery Quilt including thread, fabric, patterns, long arm quilting, and more!  The prizes will be announced in June.

3. Quilt Kits - A quilt kit is not required for this quilt along, but for those that would like that option, I am working with a number of quilt shops to offer quilt kits in variety of styles and colors. 


4. The Un-Mystery Quilt - There will be a sneak peek option for those that would like to see the design before deciding to join in.  Click the link below for the sneak peek of the mystery quilt:


The only rule is that you have to keep the design completely to yourself as to not spoil anyone else's surprise.

  21. I have a question regarding the oversized pieces. How much larger does it make the quilt? And how does it factor into design?

    1. Oversizing some of the pieces just allows the unit to be slightly oversized and then trimmed for more accuracy. This does not change the size of the blocks or the quilt. Thanks!

  22. I have never encountered a 9 patch that doesn’t have equal sized pieces. What layout are the rectangle pieces going , up and down or crossways? I am dense and the unequal joining seams are perplexing. Maybe it’s just old age setting in!
