BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER MYSTERY QUILT
'Twas a dark and stormy night, and the Captain said, "Antoine, bring me a quilt!"
........ or something like that. So starts our new MYSTERY QUILT project. I shall have a pattern for this project once each month for the next two months! There are only 3 main block patterns, but oh, the fun you'll have putting them together! Don't get behind.
Each block may be paper-pieced or traditionally pieced if you'll add a quarter inch seam allowance to pattern pieces. You may enlarge patterns for a 6" block which will make a 48" square quilt without borders; or an 8" block will make a 64" square quilt without borders; or a 12" block will make a 96" square quilt without borders. Paper-piecing is so exact, and SO easy! There are wonderful "how to" books at the Cashiers Library, or on the Internet, just search for "How to Paper-piece." Just be sure to have AT LEAST a quarter inch seam allowance left all around the outside of the block to join to the next block.
