This kit is for the 2026 Two Step Tango Brown Bag Mystery Quilt. The mystery quilt finishes at approximately 60" x 60" as kitted. Your bag contains 6-1/2 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 21st. 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. 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.
A border bundle is available for this kit. Select the option you would like above. You can purchase the quilt kit or the kit bundled with a sensational coordinating border strip print. If you purchase the bundle if includes the outer border and binding fabric for the quilt. Backing is not included and we suggest purchasing 4 yards of regular width fabric for backing or 2 yards of 108" wide quilt backing fabric if you plan to make just the original size quilt. If you are including the border option then your quilt will finish at approximately 82" x 82" and you should increase your backing to 7.5 yards of regular width fabric or 2.5 yards of 108" wide quilt backing fabric.
The Two Step Tango quilt can be made using either rulers or by foundation paper piecing. One package of foundation papers is enough to make a mystery quilt. If you prefer to use rulers, the following Creative Grids rulers are the recommended tools: Folded Corner Clipper, Crazier Eights Template Set, Triangle Squared and the Perfect Rectangle Ruler.
