Mystery quilt #2 ~ Fabric Requirements

Shannon’s Mystery Quilt Fundraiser #2
© February 2012, Shannon Maciejewski

After the success of my first mystery quilt fundraiser, I’ve decided to do another one!

I am participating in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day in Michigan this August. I’m asking for a $10 donation to participate, and all the money collected, every penny, will go to the 3 Day.

The first fundraiser had only 14 participants, but the average donation was over $17 each! I thank each and every one of you. The $240 you contributed is more than 10% of my goal of $2300. Don't forget, if you or anyone you know would like a pdf copy of the first mystery quilt pattern, it's available for a $10 minimum donation to my 3 Day page.

Anyway, enough of that, let’s get to the new pattern!

I will be presenting this in 5 different sizes. These sizes do not include borders, so if you want to add a border, please plan accordingly. This quilt calls for 4 fabrics. Look for 2 colors, in two shades each (i.e. purple and green, each in a light and a dark). Use any colors you like together.

I’ve designed this to be a very beginner-friendly quilt. There will be diagrams to go along with each clue. And I am always available for questions!



FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:

Here are the 5 sizes:
Crib – 48 x 60
Lap – 60 x 72
Twin – 72 x 84
Full/Queen – 84 x 96
King – 96 x 108

Fabric Requirements:

.............................Crib................Lap...................Twin...............F/Q..................King
Light 1..................1 1/2 yd..........1 3/4 yd............2 1/2 yd..........3 1/2 yd...........4 1/4 yd
Dark 1..................1 1/4...............1 1/2.................2 1/4...............3......................3 1/2
Light 2..................1.....................1 1/4.................1 3/4...............2 1/4...............2 3/4
Dark 2..................6 inches..........7 inches...........10 inches.......13 inches.........15 inches


My diagrams will be presented in 2 shades of brown and 2 shades of pink.

Try to avoid using directional prints like stripes, unless you don’t care that they might end up going every which way!
