Updated: Jul 21, 2022

Welcome to Block 5 of our Mystery Quilt 2022!

We are moving along and learning so many wonderful things about other shapes in quilting

than squares and HSTs. I know sometimes it's scary to try new things, and you might be worried if you have enough fabric or what is happening tomorrow, but trust me. If you just take a moment, slow down,

be patient, enjoy today and the moment you are in, something new will blossom from

you taking the time. Lets spread love and kindness and get creative together.

Below is all the information you need to prepare before joining

For Block 5, you will need:

• 2 light fabrics (Make sure that your pick two light fabrics that are very similar in hue. Please do not stress about having two fabrics- this is just a light background and it will add a little fun feel to your quilt.)

Block 5A Block 5B


Block 5


We will be making 8 Block 5As and 8 Block 5Bs for a total of 16 blocks.

light strips right sides together as shown above. Please watch our video for guidance.

Pay attention that the width of your strip measure 2-3/4".




Cut as shown.









Rotate your cutting board

and trim the edge as shown.






With every cut, you will get two pieces. One for Block 5A and one for Block 5B.
