That is what I did, both printed and saved. I can send a PDF if needed. PM me.

It starts in the McCalls Quilting Jan/Feb 2012 and runs for three months ... I think I am getting addicted to these mysteries and my Quilt Club is doing one :)

OMG, Sitting on my computer, within inches of my fingers is the Jan/Feb issue LOL I had my DH pick it up for me because I wanted to do the Jinny Beyer quilt on pg 72.. skipped right over the mystery quilt on page 40!

With all of the pieces that need to be made and some of the matching that needs to be done in this 1st step, it will not only be a challenge for beginners, but also for those of us that are a little weak at matching intersections.. especially on bias triangles. should be a good challenge, I'm in! I will start a new thread just for this one.. Whoo HOoo a new mystery quilt :) :) :)

so i guess you gotta go buy the mccalls magazine to do this mystery quilt. i looked on their website and blog and saw nothing mentioned of this mystery quilt.

You have to buy the magazine - but it is only 3 months worth and you can't hang out with us some more :) Come on you know you want to ..... LOL

I am going to be finishing my next week. I got sick the day after the challenge.

I love the pictures I have been seeing. I don't know if I am going to do the McCall's challenge since I have a goal of making lapquitls for my neices and nephews this year for Christmas and I have to get started soon.

this magazine is only printed bi-monthly so this will take about six months to even get all of the directions.

You are absolutely correct! I didn't realize this till I went and looked and thought about it... so that gives us extra time to work on the intersection matches! I also bit the bullet and subscribed to the magazine. Figure that the next issue will be here by the time my subscription kicks in and the nearest JoAnn's to me is a 40 mile round trip, so the price of the mag is a savings over the price of the gas that it would take to go and get it, not to mention the amount of money I would spend on fabric 'because I was in the store' ROFL.

Oh, sometimes I just crack myself up! LOL

Ok, I finally took pics of my quilt top. Here it goes.....it was really fun. I hope to finish it this weekend( i have a longarm) and PS I bought the McCall's mystery quilt magazine, however I'm completely inexperienced with triangles, so not sure I'll bite:) It was a lot of fun working with everyone!
