Mystery Quilt - Chairperson, Samantha Stewart
The 2025-2026 Beaver Valley Piecemakers Mystery Quilt will run from September 2025 through April 2026 with the reveal in June 2026. The mystery quilt will finish at approximately 72”x72”, a nice lap-size quilt. Prizes for the top three finished quilts will be awarded at the June BVP event. The quilts do have to be fully assembled to be eligible for a prize but are not required to be quilted. Instructions will be provided each month from September through April with the exception of December. Techniques used in the quilt will include Flying Geese, Courthouse Steps, Square in a Square and Half Square Triangles. There are no Y-seams, applique or paper piecing in this pattern. There are 10 (8 full and 2 half) motifs in the quilt. The can either be made with all the motifs using the same three colors, each motif being different or a scrappy version. Each motif is approximately 24’ in size. Additional rows and columns can be added to increase the size. ​This month we will be making some half square triangle units. Block assembly will also begin this month using the Flying Geese units and Square in Square units made previously. March and April will continue the building of the quilt. May will be a free month to get caught up or finish the quilt in time for the June dinner.
