Mystery project?
I have seen reference to a mystery quilt project here and I saw the first posting that said there would be one using scraps but where do I look to find the following information? I've never done an online mystery quilt and would like to at least follow along to see if it's something I want to do.

Are you talking about the one that Judy is hosting?
If so, it's the Mystery Train and it's under the category Blocks of the Month.
I hope this helps. I am doing it and it's a first for me.

On my computer the directions start on page 5

It's posted by paintmejudy and post #111. And she added a correction on the sixth page.
You need to make 48 four patches with 2.5" squares, with two of the squares a background fabric. (To make them you need 96 2.5" squares that are colored and 96 2.5" squares of neutral background fabric).
And also make 12 four patches with 2.5" squares with all colors, no neutrals. (To make those you need 48 2.5" colored squares).
For your colored fabrics, she said to use small and medium prints, no solids. I am doing it, a first for me, too. The four patches need to end up 4.5" square and be accurate.

Thank you JustaBitCrazy for doing this! It's so much easier than sorting through all the comments, hoping to finally get to the instructions. My computer is aging and is so slow that I was struggling to find this.
