    Default Mystery quilt ideas

    Hello Fellow quilters,

    I have been asked to come up with an idea for a mystery quilt for our guild.
    Do any of you have any ideas where I should look.
    thanks
    Diane

    That's a tall order for a Guild, how about a sampler quilt? I would check out pintrest to see if there are any starting up and go from there.

    You might check with the member who does the Mystery quilt train and see if there are any suggestions you can get from her.

    I have two mystery quilt books. Let me see if I can find them and give you the names of them....

    Okay, I only found one, but the my other is by the same author, I think. The book is called Mystery Quilts by Rita Fishel. The book has 13 patterns in it. I bought it because I liked several of the patterns. One of my favorite is called What Knots. It works very well with one focus fabric, though it works well with just purple too!

    Hope this helps some.

    Hope these help you on your search....

    The following website has 3 free ones plus has some class mysteries you can purchase:
