maybe it's going to be similar to a whole cloth quilt and we just glue these parts on as design? then we would already have most of it done. no? hmmm, looks like april will be a busy month then. pout!

I did not receive the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of McCall's Quilting. Therefore, I do not have part 1 of the current mystery quilt. Could someone send it to me?

I agree, clue 3 must be a doosie or this pattern is so simple that it could be anybody's first quilt.. just saying. Has anyone done one of their mystery quilts before? |

"The quilt was designed for confident beginners, and to keep it a mystery, we had to break down the steps this way. We felt that all the cutting in Part 2 would keep you busy and allow you to save up your energy for the final installment. There will be lots to do in Part 3, and then all will be revealed! Part 2 of the mystery quilt was positioned in the back of the magazine so readers not interested in making it wouldn’t have to see it so close to the front of the issue." |
Oh my......how much energy do we have to save up? I guess we'll be spending all Summer finishing this mystery! Sigh! Will Part 3 be in the front of the magazine, then?

gosh, maybe it's going to be really ugly and that's why they're putting it in the back.......oooooooo, what have we gotten ourselves into???? seriously, it can't be that bad. one of their people is making 2 of them and working a full time job, so i think it should be doable. i expected the second clue to be towards the back. wouldn't you hate to pick up a magazine a find a story prominently displayed, only it was the middle of the story, and you couldn't read the beginning? that would be frustrating and annoying. bet clue three will be more toward the middle because they'll want to show off the quilts their ladies have made. (which they probably made last summer, come to think of it). it's all good. i'm having fun. aren't you?

I found the magazine today at the grocery store. Have not read it yet, but will so I can see what you are all talking about.
