Quiltmaker is starting a New Years Mystery Quilt and I was wondering if anyone had ever done one of theirs. The yardage numbers seemed high to me, but I've been having such fun with Bonnie Hunter's MQ, I was thinking about tackling another MQ.
I did a large lap size quilt that required over 9 yards of background, 5 yards for color prints and 3 1/4 yards for borders. I was amazed when I saw the list but it turned out to be pretty accurate. That quilt included just shy of 10,000 pieces. Hopefully this mystery one will be a little less intense. With that amount of yardage, it will end up being a heavy quilt. Mine is very, very heavy.
