What is a "Mystery Quilt"?
By Spotlight
- Welcome to a very special event for quilters/Knitters alike!
Our friends at Australian Country Spinners have created this project for you to try.
This Quilt will be built up during a 6 week period hence a mystery quilt!
Here are some basics of the quilt before we get started with week 1.
There are 35 squares in total:
the Quilt measures 5 squares wide and 7 squares long.
The approximate finished measurement will be 100cm wide by 140cm long.
Each square measures 21cm x 21cm (unseamed).
The Quilt is made using Moda Vera Marvel 8ply (100g balls).
The colours used in the Quilt are:
C1 - 1038 (duck egg), C2 - 1005 (fawn), C3 - 1022 (light grey marle), C4 - 1006 (denim), C5 - 1024 (blue), C6 - 1026 (dark red), C7 - 1021 (brown marle), C8 - 1023 (dark grey marle), C9 - 1001 (white), C10 - 1002 (black), C11 - 1013 (eclipse), C12 - 1019 (chocolate).
1 ball will make several squares or square colour combinations.
Each week a different combination of colours and stitches will be offered.
Note - If desired, you may vary the combinations of colours and squares made to suit your knitting ability or to create your own individual quilt.
