Mystery Quilt # 2
Think Spring Mystery Quilt!
  The deep snows and ice of the north are upon us here in Michigan and what better way to stay warm but to lay next to a warm fire wrapped up in your favorite quilt!  The cold of winter will soon come to a close with the hope of Spring.  This fun mystery quilt will help you to enjoy these cold days with the anticipation of the coming spring.  This mystery quilt will be an eight part mystery quilt and each new segment will come out on Mondays.
   This Mystery Quilt will be completed as a wall hanging and is easily adaptable for larger quilts. the finished size will be 33 inches square.  With any good fortune the cutting instructions as well as the direction I provide will be easy to follow.
 

Step # 1.

cutting

12 - 12 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangles 8 - 3 1/2" squares 4 - 3" squares 4 - 3" x 2" rectangles*
16 - 4" squares 12 - 1 1/2" squares 4 - 2 1/2" squares .4 - 2 1/2" squares*

. 12 - 2 1/2" squares . .
. 4 - 3" x 2" rectangles* . .
 
***** Important note *******   There is a change in this page different from the origional instructions.*******
  Origionally you were only required to cut " 8 "  of the 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" rectangles... the correct number should be "16"
  Please ammend your necessary pieces to 16.  Sorry for the error.
 * I found 2 more cutting errors!  Please note that you will also need to cut 4 - 3 " x 2" rectangles of Pink  and Green and
    also 4 - 3" squares of green*   (now are we totally confused)
 

     I have chosen 4 different fabrics for this quilt.  The "white" I am using is a White on White fabric.  The pink is a medium pink with a stronger floral pattern, the green is a deep green and the purple is a dark purple.  This quilt would be an excellent pattern to be done in solid or Amish colors for the amish quilt lovers.
  Hopefully I have the "yardage" correctly figured out... if  not, please be sure to cut the number of pieces shown in the table above.
With the amounts of fabrics to cut for this quilt this is all for step #1.  Installment #2 will be out on Monday January 26, 1998.  See you next Monday!

I am so new to designing Mystery Quilts that I am bound to make mistakes along the way. This is the first Mystery Quilt that I have tried to design for myself.  Even though I have tested and tested and cut and re-cut I am bound to make mistakes along the way... I ask that you be patient with me as I learn just like you!  I am sitting here right now looking at the finished project and know it will be well worth the efforts and the many mistakes I make for you :).
