Brown Bag Dealers Choice Mystery Kit - Tilda Creating Memories Harper Yellow
This kit is for the 2025 Dealers Choice Brown Bag Mystery Quilt. The mystery quilt finishes at approximately 50" x 66" as kitted. Your bag contains 6-3/4 yards of fabric! You will receive only the cutting instructions in your kit. The first clue for the mystery will be released on Saturday, March 15th. Clues will be mailed to all customers. While you're waiting for your printed copy of the clue to arrive in the mail, you'll have the option of watching a video of the clue in a private Facebook group that we organize for all of the mystery quilt participants. Instructions for joining this private Facebook group will be included with your kit. The clue instructional videos will be done by Karen Montgomery who is the designer of the mystery quilt pattern. Clues will be released and mailed every two weeks after that. There are five clues in the mystery.
The kit includes the fabric for the quilt top with enough extra fabric for a scrappy binding and possibly some scrappy pieced borders. The pattern will be delivered in the form of the clues mailed in March, April and May. Mailing of the clues is included with your purchase at no additional charge. Backing is not included and must be purchased separately. 3.25 yards of backing will be needed.
Fabrics that would make good border or backing options for this quilt are shown in the Suggested Products area below. Other border, binding and backing options may be available. Call 218-844-5260 to inquire about other options. The amount of fabric needed for backing would need to be increased if you plan to add additional borders to your quilt. The designer suggests you purchase 2.5 yards of additional fabric if you wish to add borders to your quilt or 3 yards if you are using a border print fabric and plan to miter the corners of the outer border.
The designer will be demonstrating the Creative Grids 6" Square on Square Trim Tool CGRJAW7. It is a suggested but optional tool for the mystery quilt. We also have two sets of 50wt Aurifil cotton thread which is our favorite piecing thread. Both sets are great colors to add to your thread collection either shades of gray or the classic combo of white, gray and black.
