This year’s mystery quilt is scrappy in nature. It has been brewing for a while; what better time to finally get it on paper! I will provide fat quarter requirements for those uncomfortable with a full scrap quilt. There are so many options for this one. Please download each step as it becomes available; this free quilt pattern may not be available in the long term. The first installment should be available in April 2023. Check back for updates for Mystery Quilt 2023!

Mystery Quilt Sizes

Three different sizes will be posted. I am still on the fence about also creating a table runner version. There is concern that the pattern won’t emerge; I need time to test that theory.

Sizes: 63″ square, 63″ x 84″, and 84″ square. I am seriously considering creating a larger one for our bed – depending on how the scrappy look turns out when I test the pattern. Ultimately these scrappy quilts tug at my heartstrings.

Mystery Quilt Challenge

Should you accept, the challenge is to create it entirely from your stash – unless you only buy for projects and don’t have much of a stash. Someday I hope to get to that point. In addition to the number of units to cut, I will list approximate amounts for FQs, but it will be an estimate. Included is a border out of one fabric to frame the whole quilt. I will list yardage for that amount, but there could be scrappy options.

Mystery Steps

Each step will be posted on this page. It will make it easier for you to find all the needed information. You will need to scroll down the page for each installment, which will make printing easier.


This page will continue to change as I add more steps. Stop back often to download each step – available for a limited time. Also, sign up with my Facebook group to see the updates.

Contact me if you have any questions.

Until Next Time…
