Mystery Quilt 2024 - Week 6

For the last few weeks we have been wondering around; hiking and climbing,

looking at the sun and getting lost in the nature of scraps.

I am sew thankful to have gone on this adventure with you!

Are you ready to unveil our mystery?

Set your eyes on the sunset of scraps, the bubblegum pinks, and the sunset clouds!

Below is all the information you need to prepare and cut your fabric for this week.

I will be using the Sunset Pink, Snowcap White and River Blue rolls.

But do not worry if you are not using these bundles,

I would love to still inspire you every week.

For Week 6, you will need:

(These notions are just my recommendations)

• Fabrics

• Sew Daisy Fabric Markers (Use fabric markers to stay organized)

• Creative Gird Ruler: 4½" x 12½"

• Aurifil Thread – 2370 recommended

Edyta’s Tip: Always have a stash of fresh blades for your rotary and remember to change yours often. for the cleanest cuts.

• Best Press

• Pins, Scissors, Needle Threader, and Double Needle Threader 

• Microtex Needles 70/10
