Mystery Quilt 2022 Clue #2

2022 Henrietta Quilt Club Mystery Quilt. Clue #2

I’m repeating the design options and Fabric info from clue 1.  

Quilt color design options:

Option 1 – Traditional.  You pick out 2 feature fabrics and 2 background fabrics.  

Option 2 – Controlled Scrappy -a little risky, but you’re still in control. 

Option 3 – Wild and Scrappy -a walk on the wild side

Fabric(s) A:  (2 yards) This is the primary focus fabric

  • Option 1 – Use the same fabric throughout the quilt   
  • Option 2 – Coordinate the same fabric 4x within the block.  
  • Option 3 – Anything goes!  Go wild and scrappy.

Fabric(s) B:  (¾ yard) This is the secondary focus fabric

  • Option 1 – Use the same fabric throughout the quilt 
  • Option 2  and 3 – Use the same fabrics throughout the block.  It looks best if it contrasts with feature fabric 1

Fabric(s) C: 1 yard.  This is the primary background fabric.  Choose either light or dark fabric/scraps and use the same value throughout the quilt

  • Option 1 – Use the same fabric throughout the quilt 
  • Option 2 – Use the same fabric throughout the block.  
  • Option 3 – Use multiple fabrics with the same value

Fabric(s) D:  ⅝ yard – This is the secondary background fabric. Pick out something that complements feature fabric 1 and contrasts with feature fabric 2. 

  • Option 1 – Use the same fabric throughout the quilt
  • Option 2 – Use the same fabric throughout the block.  
  • Option 3 – Use multiple fabrics with the same value

Second clue.  

  • From Fabric B:  

cut 35 2 ½ x 6½ in strips

cut 70 2 ½ in squares

For all options, the same fabric is used within the block.  For options 2 and 3 you may use different fabrics from block to block, but within the block the fabric B strips and squares must be the same fabric. You will have 35 “sets”. 

  • From Fabric D:  cut 140 2 ½ in squares
  1.  For each “sets” of fabric B:  
  • Sew a fabric D 2 ½ in square onto both ends of the fabric B 2 ½ x 6 ½ in strip
  • Sew a fabric D 2 ½ in square onto each fabric B 2 ½ in square

I’m using black and white fabrics for my fabric D 

Remember, keep your fabric D fabric “sets” together.
