I am very happy to reveal the challenge fabric for the first Mystery Quilt Along that starts January 1, 2018. This is a unique QAL in that the participants all use the same challenge fabric along with any others fabrics of their choice to make a quilted project. They choose the actual quilt or project themselves. It is a MYSTERY to the rest of us! How fun is that?!
Cindy over @In a Stitch Quilting and I dreamed this adventure up a few months ago. We have had fun planning and preparing the event for anyone who might like to join along. We hope YOU will find a pattern you like and surprise us all with something unique and totally you!
Here are the rules if you want to join along
Large projects or small projects, it doesn’t matter. Whatever tickles your fancy is the perfect project;)
Cindy chose our first fabric and she made it easy on us. Without any more talk, drum roll please….. the fabric is………..
Biscuits and Gravy Fluffer Nutter You be You
Cindy says she chose this fabric because she thought the name was so cute. I think it is perfect because the name includes “You Be You” and that is exactly what this MYSTERY QAL is all about –You being You and choosing what You like!
This fabric is available at Fat Quarter shop and other online stores. You may even be able to pick up a fat quarter or two at your local quilt store.
If you are interested in joining us, please leave a comment below and we will add you to the participant list.

I am so excited to begin sewing in January. I have ordered my Fluffer Nutter fabric and am thinking about projects. I THINK I know what I am going to make, but I won’t tell because, shhhhh, it is a MYSTERY!
Thank you for dropping by and have a SWEET rest of your day!
Hi Tracy,
This is going to be so fun! I ordered my fabric today. I have an idea about what to make but I want to see and feel the fabric. Sometimes it tells me to go in a different direction. ~smile~ Roseanne

You bet Kathy! The fabric does seem to go well with many color schemes and you can use a little or a lot of the fabric. Easy:)! This is a no stress QAL. ❤️

I’m not going to have time to join in, but if you have any scraps of Fluffer Nutter left over, please may I have them for Ovarian Cancer quilts – it’s the perfect colour? I’ll be cheering from the sidelines…
