2023 Mystery Quilts
General Information:
- Mystery quilts are sent, one clue at a time, once a week, for 4-6 weeks.
- You won’t know what the final quilt looks like until the last clue.
- You will get a copy of the complete pattern with the last clue.
- All Mysteries are beginner-friendly.
- None require special rulers, but I sometimes will demo a special ruler if it would be useful.
- This year’s Mysteries are mostly scrappy, but you could do “controlled scrappy” by choosing one fabric for the lights or darks in each pattern, or by limiting the color palette.
- Mystery Quilts cost $15 each (one-time cost, not per clue) or can be bought with 15 Points.
- Charges will appear as Sleeping Cat Creations on your statement.
