Mystery Quilt 2025 - Week 2

The excitement is just getting started - welcome to Week 2 of our Mystery Quilt adventure! I’m thrilled to have you along for this creative journey and can’t wait to share this week’s block pattern with you. Get ready for another fun step in our quilt-making process as we continue to uncover new surprises and stitch up something beautiful together.

Remember to enjoy yourself while stitching - having fun
makes the creative process even more rewarding.

No matter which fabrics you’ve picked, this mystery quilt is sure to turn out beautiful!
I’ll be making mine using our Poppy Seeds collection.

Don’t worry if you’re not using this fabric collection—you can absolutely use your own scraps! My goal is to inspire you every week, no matter what materials you have on hand. Take a look at the additional photos of this week’s block below, showcased in a variety of fabric collections, and let your creativity soar!

For Week 2, you will need:

(These notions are just my recommendations)

• Fabrics
• Creative Grids® Quilt Ruler 6½" x 6½" and Creative Grids® Quilt Ruler 4½" x 12½"
• Crisp Fabric Spray   
  (Edyta’s Tip: I like to press all my fabric ahead of cutting. I use Crisp for a nice finish!)
• Aurifil Thread – 2310 recommended  
• Sew Daisy Fabric Markers (Use fabric markers to stay organized)
• Olfa Spinning Mat
• Olfa Rotary and Blades 
  (Edyta’s Tip: Always have a stash of fresh blades for your rotary and remember to change yours)

• Microtex Needles 70/10     

Once you have everything set up, you’re ready to get started!

As promised, I’m thrilled to reveal not just the mystery blocks I’ve been working on, but also to showcase several of my all-time favorite block designs that make truly eye-catching borders.
 I’m so curious to hear which border design ends up as your favorite on our Log Cabin.
Let me know which block stands out to you the most!

Edyta’s Tip:
When cutting QSTs, I like to cut them just a touch larger and then
trim block to the exact size once block is completed.

Can't wait to see you again next week.
Be sure to join out LIVE Show on Thursday at 11AM PST for the MINI Mystery block recipe.

Happy Quilting!
