The new year is just about here and I have been working making plans for what I want to do in 2021. There is one thing I have always been intrigued with after a friend was telling me about a Quilt Along she was doing. Each month she read a chapter for a book and made a quilt block...Both were a mystery of course!
So I am all signed up for A Pattern for Murder - one of Annie's Mystery Quilt Stitch Alongs!
I think the first chapter comes out in January but we were sent the material requirements. This being my first quilt along like this I am not sure what to expect. I guess that is part of the fun.
The background colors are going to be red, dark blue and light blue. I (of course) am hoping to make my blocks all scrappy. I will know more once I start seeing the block patterns. I may have to switch over to a large cut from my stash. But I do know there will be standard piecing, paper piecing and applique. Lots of techniques to challenge me.
The finished quilt is 60 x 70. I plan on sharing my blocks as I go!
Annie's has two Stitch Alongs for 2021. If you want to read more about them, you can do so here.

it will be interesting to see your quilt in the end!
Gosh this sounds different! I look forward to your block posts.
That sounds very intriguing and fun! I'll enjoy seeing how your quilt unfolds.
What a creative way to combine reading and quilting. Your initial thoughts on the fabric colors is wonderful- look forward to seeing your first month's progress.
None of those things will be a challenge for you. You will eat them up for breakfast, I am sure, and then ask - What's next? I will be following along for joy and inspiration. Happy New Year 2021!!!
Mystery quilts can be SEW much fun!! I hope you enjoy the process, Cynthia.
Interesting, indeed! I'll enjoy seeing what you mysteriously stitch up!
