I found it doing a search.......merry mayhem mystery. But I thought I read only three fabs needed...hmm, but I did read one color in squares, the rest in triangles...I saved it, might d vide to try it...never did a mystery quilt before and yes, these pieces are much more friendly that tiny pieces..jmho

I'm doing it-- but I thought her instructions said to cut squares. You've cut triangles. Am I missing something? She did say to pencil draw a line diagonally on the lightest color squares... I cut out my squares for the twin size, and since she indicates she did the quilt sizes to allow for a border if wanted, I'll probably make a border after the reveal. If I like the pattern I might make another, but with fabric I like better. I chose some older fabric that I don't mind using for a charity quilt. If there will be large pieces (I'm guessing that too, else how can you sew it in only one day?) then I might not want to keep it. I don't usually sew with large pieces. :-) My darkest print is a crazy patch cheater print. I'm hoping that will give some interest!
If you recheck where the directions say to cut the squares, she also gives instructions on which ones to cut.

I'd be interested to see what the previous mystery quilts looked like.
Please show photos ..... or provide links to yours or others.
