Hello everyone! I'm interested in doing a quilt mystery for everyone. I thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with. It is very beginner friendly and advanced challenged.. The name of the pattern is called Faerie Stones. It is my design..If anyone wants to sign up let me know by PM, email address and then I'll send directions out! Thank you everyone in advance!

Sounds like it may be a fun thing to do. Is there supposed to be a timeline? My work gets busier starting in January thru tax season.

Sounds neat! I'm sending a pm. Will this be scrappy or ?

Sounds interesting.

I'm interested, keep me posted!

sounds fun

Sounds like fun! Sending a PM :)

Wow! Love the response! LOL I've pm'd everyone that sent me a message back, but if you haven't done it send me your email address and I'll get you the fabric requirements out. We will start it in late Dec, and it will be one 'clue' every week until it's done! I look forward to seeing different views! Hint: Pick a big print focus. This one is great for that purpose. Then pick the colors from that to augment the rest of the quilt.. Hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to PM me!

Wow. Sounds like fun. Especially if I don't have to keep to a timeline exactly.

Am doing one now but am a tad bit unhappy as the cutting has to be exact and I am still recovering from eye surgery. wish I had waited. However, I did learn I prefer a quilt design that lets me trim it down and not always be exact.

Will PM you.

thanks,
ali

what's a mystery quilt? do you give the directions for a full block? I just love this site. After Xmas I plan on starting to make a quilt. Last and only quilt I made was 15 years ago.

Ooh, big print focus, surely I have some :mrgreen: I'll PM with my e-mail address. Thanks!

I want to play, too! I am going to try to learn to PM... First time for everything!!

PM Sent! I've never done a mystery quilt, but they look like fun!

how big will it be in the end? how long do you think it will take us? and.... is it "beginner" friendly?

This sounds soooooooo interesting!

I didn't get a message from you. :( Am I missing something? So will this be like one cut a week or one block a week?

I am willing to give this a try. Hopefully I have enough fabrics to do this.

A mystery quilt basically has 'clues'.. which are typically steps to sew. The one we are doing is a full quilt from cribsize up to kingsize.

Kris,
It is definitely beginner friendly. I will be giving clues once a week. From cribsize to kingsize.. :) you decide! heehee

I'm intriqued...so I'll send a PM..hope you follow with lots of details. I have no idea what a mystery quilt is

Me either, Jim, but I'm going to give it a try.

Sue

I have never done one of these. I wont to play too!

Ok, I think I'll do this too. Do I need to send a PM also?

It'll be one clue a week..:) See ya around...

Definitely! Well, for those who don't exactly know what a mystery quilt is...
It's 'clues' which are technically steps to complete the quilt. To 'solve the mystery' you have to put all the pieces together! :) This is definitely a beginner friendly quilt.

Here is the fabric that I picked. There are a few that I am letting simmer( so I can decide which one I want ). Now..off to your stash room and look around for auditions! :P

Have you sent out the fabric requirements? I didn't get one.
Pretty fabrics, BTW :thumbup:

Not yet.. LOL, shannon wanted a wallhanging.. so I'm re-doing that part.. Tonite.. I promise.. I'll get things out for us. :) HUGS everyone! Thank you for your patience. This is my first time hosting the mystery.

No problem, I just thought I missed getting it, LOL. Love your fabrics..excited about getting the requirements and go through my stash.

Love your bright colors!

I don't know if I can handle not knowing what it will make. :) like Christmas morning I just can't wait! Sounds like fun though. How long do you think it will take to finish and make? I'm moving the beginning of Feb. Do you think we will be finished by then? Either way I think I want to play :)

Just sent a PM and have fab just ready to be assulted!

Sure will give this a try, sounds like fun.

Hi everyone!! Me again.. fearless hostess here.. Got my fabric requirement list has been re-edited so no one can peek!! :) I also had to re-do it.. (thank you Sharon! ) She wanted a wall size one too. Due to the wonderful turnout.. I'll post clues here and we can go from there. Emails still can be sent if you want.. we'll play it by ear.. Thank you for the confidence and lotsa people coming to do this!

what is this for i dont undrestand

I wanna play, did you get my pm?

Are you going to post the fabric requirement now or will that be with the first clue?

It's a mystery quilt Paula, this is the fabric that is needed to make whatever size you want. :)

Fabric requirement is out.. All you have to do is save/download it. May the searching stashes commence!!!

Missy

k so I'm counting we need 9 different fabrics? is that correct?

Yes Shortn'Sweet. You can do it control scrappy too. If you pick say color 1 as a green... stay in greens that way when the pattern is done it'll look nice.
