Welcome to
TSP's Mystery Quiltalongathon Block for 2021 ...
After the great success of last years QAYG BOM,
I decided to combine the BOM with a finished article,
A Mystery Quiltalongathon !!
A BOM with an agenda !!!
but here's a clue, I've called it
The Sparkling Stars Quilt
I thought, as Stars are so often referred to as Diamonds,
I would assign a different Gemstone to each Block.
and try and convey a sense of that jewel with my choice of fabrics .......
You can follow my choice of gemstone for each star ...
or choose your own according to the fabrics you have to hand
Here we are coming up to the home straight of our
MysteryQuiltalongathon Block of the Month,
(Just ONE more Block left to make after this!!! )
So for the FIFTH Block of
2021 TSP's Mystery Quiltalongathon
We have
The Amethyst EMERALD Star

(top right corner of the pic on a laptop, click the three dots on a tablet/ phone)
to bring up the instructions to the side of the pic.
:devil: Please DO read right through the tutorial before you start cutting or sewing :devil:
The LAST block, Block SIX, will be released on Saturday 28th August ...
* * * * * *
There will be SIX Gemstone Blocks, posted at 6 weekly intervals
from the end of January to end of August,
giving you ample time to gather your fabrics and make your Stars!
You will need to make between FIVE and THREE Blocks for each Star.
The techniques used throughout the Sewalongs will be fairly simple
and there are Tut's available in The Darkside Tutorials should you need to refresh your memory.
This Mystery Quilt comprises a 5 by 5 grid of 12" (f) blocks
to make a finished quilt of 60" sq,
before any added borders or sashing.
You can of course make it smaller or even larger if you wish.
* * * Fabric Requirements * * *
This Mystery Quilt will require approximately 3m's of
ONE consistent background fabric throughout the quilt
and a different Gemstone colour each month ...
within which there will be between 3 - 6 different shades.
(I'm not so good at the Maths but a 1/4 metre or FQ of each gemstone colour/shade should be ample)
And everyone who finishes 2021 with a completed quilt
will receive an exclusive
The Sewing Places's
Prize Winners Enamel badge or Sew on Embroidered Patch!!!
