January 2025
Welcome to the start of the Daisy Mountain 2025 Mystery Quilt!! We are so
excited to get started and we hope you are too!
The Mystery Quilt will run from January through June with a set of directions
revealed at each meeting.
The mystery quilt will finish at approximately 60" x 60", a nice lap size and is an
advanced beginner level containing half square triangles, square in a square
units, flying geese, and basic patchwork. (There is no applique, Y-seams, or
paper piecing in the pattern.)
The directions will also be posted to Facebook in pdf format for downloading. If
you are not on Facebook and are interested, let us know and we can email you
each month’s instructions.
This month, we have the fabric requirements and all cutting instructions for the
entire quilt.

Fabric Requirements
The Mystery quilt is a lap sized quilt containing 5 different fabrics in the quilt top:

Due to the finished fabric piece sizes and piecing methods for the quilt top, it is
recommended that fabric prints used have a smaller scale and a non
directional design.
Each of the fabric yardages above may be made using scraps of similar colors
instead of a single fabric.
The following fabrics will be next to each other, please test your fabric
selections to make sure that there is a good amount of contrast between the
fabrics:

A is next to B, C, and E
B is next to A, D, and E
C is next to A, D, and E
D is next to B and C
E is next to A, B, and C
E can be considered the main background of the quilt and D can be considered
a secondary background of the quilt.
It is suggested that a solid or a tone-on-tone print that reads as a solid be used
for Fabric E
