Mystery Quilt # 3
    Now that Spring is "springing" it is time to move on to the colorful fun of the summer.  And it is also time to prepare for the coming of the fall.  Quilting in the summer will bring us to the cooler autumn days enjoying a wonderful and warm quilt.
    Trying to decide just what I wanted to do for this mystery quilt project has been nothing short of a major challenge for me but it is also one that I am throughly enjoying.  You will be presented with the option of either a "twin" size quilt or a "full" size quilt.
    After hours and hours with my caculator at hand and going through various goodies on my computer I found what I think is the perfect quilt for this mystery.  Because of my past errors with cutting instructions and yardage charts I would suggest that you do not cut your fabrics until instructed to in each step. This should save you a bit of confusion as time goes on.

  This Mystery Quilt will  be a 9 week project with installments coming out each Monday until completion.

For the first installment you will receive the fabric requirements for both the twin and full size quilts.  I have checked for accuracy for the amount of fabrics you will need for this step.  So if you are purchasing fabrics for this Mystery Quilt you should be safe with the amounts listed below.
 

  It is my opinion that this quilt will have best results using contemporary or marbled fabrics for the two medium/dark requirements. You should also get good results using two contrasting medium fabrics for this quilt.  (I just happen to be partial to the darker fabrics since I plan to use this quilt this winter).

Fabric Requirements
.......................                         dark.................1st medium/dark.....2nd medium/dark..........
twin 1 7/8 yards 4 1/4 yards 5 1/8 yards
full 2 7/8 yards 6 5/8 yards 7 7/8 yards
* the finished deminsions of each quilt will be:
                      twin:   64" x 80"
                      full:    72" x 108"
 

This is all I will give you for now so next Monday be watching for the first instructional  installment! The next installment will appear on Monday April 13, 1998.
 

To all of you have a joyous and Blessed Easter and Passover Season!
