IceLeopard. You could leave off the snazzy border. I don’t know if it will be exactly that size but it would be smaller. Sounds like you already have plans for this mystery quilt.

Here is all I am going to tell you about it at first.

1. You will use lots of 2 1/2" squares (around 400)

2. and the end product is 51" x 68"

I will give the first directions on Thursday May 17th. You do not have to have all 400 squares at the beginning. For newbies if you have been saving squares for yourself while cutting for everyone else you should have a good start.

Let me know ... it is very easy pattern.

No not any more. But I could always "slice" a few more if needed. Tee-Hee-Hee.

hello Ladies

Step 1 for the Mystery Quilt

1. Sew your 2 1/2" squares that are med/Dark or a theme ( I am using 30's) into rows of 3's. Make 120 rows of 3's mixing up fabrics well. Put all the rows into a bag.

Okay not sure how much time you need. June 1st gives you 3 weeks.

Also you can join anytime you want.

Also, Also....newbies if you do not have enough squares I can always send you my package now instead of your birthday if that will help you out. Send me a PM if that helps.

Any questions...put them here on the thread so everyone can learn.

Barb
