A little background first! Each month, one of us will assemble a Puzzle Mystery Quilt clue. At the end of the 9 month project, Cotton Cuts will finish the quilt and raffle it off, with all the proceeds going to Valley Industries. Valley Industries is a sheltered workshop for disabled individuals that Cotton Cuts uses for their box fulfillment process. You can enter the raffle for the quilt here: Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt Raffle.
When I received my clue of fabric I couldn't wait to get started! First of all, all the pieces are precut! That means I don't have to worry about cutting and I could get right down to business!
Not only do you receive detailed easy to follow instructions for the mystery block and precut pieces, but you also get a this handy fabric chart. I referred back to it often while putting my blocks together.
I needed to make four (4) of one block. Each section went together quite fast.
Have I mentioned how much I love that the pieces are precut?!
I feel like I flew through each section because I could just grab and go with the pieces. Plus, I love the colorway we got to work with!
This is the finished block! I'm so curious how this quilt will look in the end! The mystery is killing me!
Since I have no clue about the layout, I took my four finished blocks and played with a few layouts.
It isn't how they will be in the finished quilt I'm sure, but I had to satisfy my curiosity somehow!
All in all, this was a fun little project and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it! You can get all the details about this quilt at: Cool Cottons Puzzle Mystery Quilt.

It looks great! I never thought of the "X" layout in your last picture. This is going to be a fun mystery. I'm doing a similar colorway - Erika, for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe piecing couldn’t have gone better with the precut pieces! It just makes it so much easier!
DeleteToo much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat block and a great concept --- mystery BOM sent in precuts, very cool!
ReplyDeleteI thought the concept was great with the precuts. It would make a BOM so much less stressful!
DeleteVery bright and fun fabrics. I love a good mystery quilt along!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never done a precut BOM or a mystery BOM, but I love the idea of precuts for the entire quilt!
