Day 1
Welcome to the blog advent calendar!
Obviously, we are starting with mystery quilt instructions ;)
Is it your first mystery quilt too? And did you choose to do the mystery or the non-mystery version? I’d love to know, so please comment on today’s IG post. It will also help other participants to find you!
You might have guessed from the mystery quilt logo: We are sewing wonky star blocks. So today you will get the general instructions and the cutting instructions for the first block size. Download both PDF files!
> Star Toss – Part 1
> Star Toss – Part 2
I will leave it up to you, whether you prefer to cut all pieces in one session or cut when sewing the star. Pre-cutting everything would make the “cutting day” a bit more labor-intensive but also take away that part from the next days. Just do whatever makes the most sense to your sewing style or that day’s timetable. There is no quilt police ;)
And here is your task for today depending on your chosen version:
24 blocks:
sew (1) block
24 quilt top:
sew (2) blocks
36 blocks:
sew (1) block
36 quilt top:
sew (2) blocks
I also promised that you could collect “letters” for a special coupon code for the full pattern download at the end. It might also work for the other patterns in my shop ;)
So for your letter collection, write down:
No. 3 = I (i but as a capital letter)
No. 10 = 0 (zero)
I made a special file for you in case you want to write it down there.
It will be so exciting to see what fabrics everyone is choosing. I hope you will join us!
Merry Christmas,
