Gumnut Gear provides weekend Mystery Quilt workshops, where quilters complete all stages of a quilt without knowing how the finished item will look.

MYSTERY QUILT WEEKENDS - Come and join our fun filled Mystery Quilt weekend. Arrive to find your fabrics ready to go and by following the step by step instruction you will end up with a lovely surprise. Morning, afternoon tea and lunch supplied.

This Mystery Quilt (Mystery Quilt 4) was originally released in monthly installments, but is now freely available to follow at your leisure. Simply download each session as you are ready.

For this quilt, I have designed it with a patchworker's stash in mind. You need a large background piece, but the rest is done scrappy. So long as your piece is larger than 4cm square you can use it somewhere. I have broken the instructions up into sessions and parts, simply follow 1 step at a time.

Finished size:- 170cm square
Seam allowance:- 6mm

I recommend that all fabrics should be washed and pressed before starting. Also, you should read through all instructions for the section before starting work on that section.

Requirements:-

• 3.8 metres main fabric/background.
  This needs to be a simple fabric, plain, marbled or with a small simple print as it needs to contrast your other fabrics.
• 10 - 12 fat ¼'s or a large stash for contrasts - checks, strips or any pattern will be fine so long as there is contrast from the background.
