Gumnut Gear provides Mystery Quilt workshops, where quilters complete all stages of a quilt without knowing how the finished item will look. 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.
In the first half of 2010, we have TWO exciting Mystery Quilt Weekends.
In addition to these dates, Therese can organise other weekends for group bookings.
If you've got a group of 5-8 quilters, check our calendar for available weekends, then give us a call. You could enjoy a weekend quilting in lovely Gunnedah!

Session 5 - Session 6 - Session 7 - The End
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 must contrast your other fabrics.
- 10 - 12 fat ¼'s or a large stash for contrasts - checks, stripes or any pattern will be fine as long as there is contrast from the background.
