Blog Mystery Post 2
NOW… to make this mystery even more mysterious, I am not going to tell you where each color goes. Nope, I am going to let you decide that yourself. I have EQed this with the three different values in each position, and each one looks different and are equally attractive.
No I am not nuts, have confidence in me and in yourself. And if you really don’t trust your own judgment in making this decision, I can be bought. ($5 at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/MargeGordon gets you the full pattern)
Blog Mystery Fabric Requirements
How much fabric will you need, I have no idea, how big do you want your quilt?
Standard mattress sizes are - crib 27 X 52, youth 33 X 66, twin 39 X 74, full 54 X 74, queen 60 X 80 and king 78 X 80. This is what size the top of the mattress measures, period!
A comforter usually covers the top, sides and foot of the mattress. You use it with a dust ruffle to pretty up your bed. Sizes for those are - twin 66 X 86, full 76 X 86, queen 86 X 88 and king 102 X 88.
Bedspreads usually fall almost to or all the way to the floor and allow for a pillow tuck. Measurements for those are - twin 80 X 108, full 96 X 108, queen 102 X 118 and king 120 X 118. However, how many pillow that allows for, or what thickness, I can't say. To be safe, you probably should get out the old tape measure and see what measurements you come up with yourself.
The blocks will be 12 1/2 inches.
Here are “suggested” fabric requirements and these do not include borders, backings and bindings. Since I am not telling you where to use each color or value, you need to have the same amount of each.
60 X 84 twin – 2 1/2 yards of each light, medium, and dark
72 X 96 full– 3 yards of each light, medium, and dark
96 inch queen – 4 yards of each light, medium, and dark
You will have some extra of two of your colors, perhaps enough for borders, but that will depend on how you make your borders.
I will only take the mystery as far as a wall hanging which will be 48 inches square….it will give you a good idea of the pattern if you decide to go larger.

Hmmm...this could really be a challenge. Good thing, or maybe not, I have a nice stash of yardage pieces. Better kick the old brain in gear and figure out what goes with what.
