2024 Block of the Month:

Mystery Quilt – "Home for Every Season"

​

The Block of the Month for 2024 will be a mystery quilt. It is designed to be a patriotic quilt using red, white, and blue but feel free to choose your own color palette. The fabric needed specifications are if you follow the instructions given each month. You can alter the fabric colors, make it scrappy or change any of the designs to one you prefer. This will, of course, affect the fabric needed. I happen to have a Wilmington patriotic layer cake and used about half of it, along with some fabric in my stash, to complete the quilt. One caution, you will need a 2 ½” x WOF in both red and white.

​

The finished quilt will measure 46.5” x 48”. You can alter the last row to larger blocks if you wish to make a bigger quilt. Just remember to include those blocks in the fabric requirements. You will be making the blocks and then putting them together to make the quilt top.

​

Fabrics Needed:

Background (light) 1-2/3 yd

Red 3/4 yd

Blue 1/2 yard

Dark Blue FQ

White 1/4 yard

Green FQ

Yellow FQ

Brown F8 (Scraps will work for these colors.)

Thank you to all who have participated in this year’s Block of the Month Program. I hope you enjoyed making the quilt as much as I liked bringing it to you. I know the Veterans Program would love to receive your quilt but I’m hoping you are making one for you too. As always, if you have questions or are experiencing any difficulties with the instructions, please give a holler. 

​

Happy Sewing!
