Quilt Show 2015 – This past Christmas I participated in an on-line quilt along from the Temecula Quilt Company. Every other day we were given instructions for a 3” finished block; each block included a clue to a mystery hidden within the quilt. Can you solve that mystery? Machine quilted on my home machine.

I’m a regular reader of the Temecula Quilt Company blog and in December, 2014 they ran this Christmas mystery project. The instructions were for a three inch block and the patterns came about every other day. It seemed manageable so I decided to join. Although I didn’t always get the block finished on the day the instructions arrived, and it wasn’t finished for display at Christmas, I got it done for the quilt show. The project is made entirely from my scraps.

I thought the mystery was that I didn’t know what it would look like until all the blocks were finished, but the mystery was that each block posted contained the same number of pieces as the order they were posted. For example, Day 1 was a single square, Day 12 used twelve different pieces.
