Wallah Mystery Class

Wallah! Mystery Class

Zoom class will be Saturday, February 20, 2021, from 10 am - 4 pm PST. 

Fabric Requirements:

• 24 Color 10" squares (Multiple colors, repeats are fine, or you can choose just one color.)
• 24 Light 10" squares (Multiple colors, repeats are fine, or one color. Lora chose black. Lisa chose white. )
• Optional 4" border, 1 yard (Neither of us added a border to ours but I get asked all the time from the border patrol quilters.)
• Binding, 1/2 yard (It is still enough if you added the border.)
• Backing, 3 yards of 44" wide or 1 2/3 yards of 104" wide

If not using a pre-cut 10" square set: Select 12 fat quarters of different colors. You can get two 10" blocks from a fat quarter. Fabric will be leftover from each fat quarter. OR Select six 1/3 yard cuts of different colors. Each 1/3 yard cut will yield four 10" squares each. A seventh 1/3 yard cut is recommended for design choices. PLUS 2 yards of background (yields twenty-eight 10" squares–four extra for design choices).

Really Recommend Tools: 8 1/2" Quilting Square, a Quilter's Ruler at least 18" long and narrow, like 2" wide is optimal. I used an 18" x 2 1/2" and my 8 1/2" square for the entire project. No miscuts. :)

A spinning cutting mat is so convenient. But a small mat you can turn on your bigger mat works great too. If you're ambidextrous like Lora and Melissa, nevermind.

Yep, that is the same fabric recipe we have used for all the past Mystery Classes. Some tips, avoid using medium value fabrics mixed in with your lights or your darks. The mediums muddle the design. Keep a good contrast between your lights and darks.

If you need a little help with fabric selection, we gave Leslie and Melissa at In Between Stitches in Livermore CA, a sneak peek at Wallah! so they're able to assist you with your choices. They've been sworn to secrecy so there is no use trying to twist their arms.
