Welcome to Block 1 of our Mystery Quilt 2022!

Block 1
We will be making 48 total Block 1s.
Fun and easy!
Cutting Directions:
Begin by cutting strips:
• Light Fabric - 4 strips 6½" x WOF
Note: Be precise when cutting this fabric and save all the leftovers. You will need them for future blocks. Since this is a panel fabric, some of your cuts will have more or
less of the crossstich design. I absolutely love this variation in the quilt- it adds a fun, whimsical look
to it.
Cutting with Creative Grids® ALASKA Ruler:
Align your ruler and cut.
From one strip of light fabric,
you should be able to get 12 pieces.
Flip your ruler over, align it on the
top of the fabric and cut again.
Alternative way of cutting with the Mystery 2022 Template A:
Use your Template A to cut your pieces.
Block Finishing
Edyta's Tip: Keep your ruler or templates handy after cutting.
They are the perfect tool to help you precisely mark your sewing points.
Grab your fabric pencil and mark 1/4" sewing points. You can use your templates in the same way.
