Mystery Quilt for 2012

Here is a peek at clue #1 for the mystery quilt.

We are going to try something different this time and do a medallion mystery quilt. We will start out by making the center and then adding borders as following clues. It will make a 45" square. There are 5 fabrics. When you pick up your clues at a meeting then you can use this picture to follow Kathy's color choices to help understand the fabric values needed.

Have fun!!!!
