Mystery Quilt Club 2025 online
£75.00
Here is what some of the 2024 group had to say about their experience.
“I loved the Mystery Quilt. I wish I had tried something like this sooner. Making a quilt without knowing what it was going to look like was very liberating. It made choices so much easier.”
“The Mystery Quilt has been the highlight of my sewing year. It’s been great to have something new to look forward to each month. I’ve learned how to do new blocks I would never have tried if I hadn’t been making the Mystery Quilt.”
“It’s been a great opportunity to experiment and I feel far more confident about putting different colours and patterns together now.”
In our online format you will receive
- Each month there will be full written instructions with diagrams/colour photos to help you construct all of the quilt top elements. These will be released on the same day as the in person sessions for 2025.
- Supporting recorded technique sessions covering all the important construction elements through out the 10 month period.
- Full details for constructing the final quilt including quilting suggestions and how best to finish your binding.
- There will also be the opportunity to join live check in sessions for support and guidance.
If you’ve been looking for a monthly patchwork session where you can build and refine your skills, become part of a community and enjoy some time sewing with others then look no further. Our Mystery Quilt Club for 2025 is designed to do all of this.
Each month we will work on different elements for our mystery quilt. We will construct a variety of different blocks, some being used more than once. The quilt can be undertaken by anyone with some basic patchwork skills and those more advanced. We wouldn’t recommend this as your first ever patchwork course as we will assume some base level knowledge as would be covered in our beginners patchwork sampler course. If you are at all unsure please message us to check (sarah@madeandmaking.co.uk).
The finished quilt size is approx 69″ square
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
If you have never done a mystery quilt before welcome to your first. They are a great chance to work on a project with a very free mind as you can’t curate your quilt in quite the same way as you might when you know the whole design up front. For that reason this one will make a great stash buster (I am a total colour lover) but will also work well with a chosen pallette of colours. The most important thing is to have a selection of shades as well as colours. So we want to thing about categorising our fabrics into light, medium and dark.
The quilt blocks have been curated so that designs will appear against a lighter background, although you could of course turn that on its head and have a dark background.
As it is hard for you to envisage how you might use your fabric until each months mystery is released it can be a good idea to ensure that if you are working from a very specific range of fabrics that they may still be available towards the end of the year should you need to buy more. (Thus it is best to purchase from a current range where stocks should be around for longer).
We recommend that you have to a selection of fat quarters/scraps that comprise the following;
4 metres total of fabric in total across a range of colours and shades in the MEDIUM/DARK category. These can be any kind of pattern and colour way depending on how busy you like you quilts to look.
4 metres of LIGHT fabrics if you are going to enjoy choosing from a range. If you envisage keeping it simpler with your lights then you could work with maybe only 1, and have less fabric, say 2.5m again… ensure that you will be able to buy more by buying from a well stocked range.
