Who Doesn’t Love a Good Mystery? Up On the Housetop Quilt Along

Hi, Friends, Maureen Lewicki here, to tell you about an upcoming Quilt Along. Becky signed up for the Mystery Up on the Rooftop quilt at the Fat Quarter Shop and she’s inviting us to join her ‘up on the rooftop!’

Who wouldn’t go? (Oh-oh-oh)

What’s a mystery QAL?

Well, fun for one thing! Here’s how it works: Starting in July 2025, the Fat Quarter Shop will release a weekly clue for the block of the week. Becky will post a tutorial in the Stitchuation Room. We won’t get the full picture of the quilt. That’s the mystery.

Honestly? I have friends who won’t do these Mystery Quilt Along’s, because they have to judge the end result before they commit. Some people just HAVE to read the final chapter of a mystery before they read the rest of the book, but what fun is that?

So, like any good mystery, let’s look at the ‘evidence.’ The kit fabrics are from Berry & Pine, Old World Yuletide and Crosswave fabrics. Look at those reds and muted greens. How can we go wrong?

The dimensions for the mystery quilt are 46.5″ x 47.5″ quilt top and binding. AHA, Watson, we’re not talking about a huge quilt! It’s more like a ‘throw’ or a focal point hanging quilt.

Kits are expected to ship June 2025. FQS is taking reservations now, so jump on the mystery train right away. These kits will go fast. Just like the ‘click, click, click on the rooftop,’ they will be here and gone.

Friends, we know Becky’s got our backs and will do each week’s block on the Power Tools with Thread channel, and The Fat Quarter Shop has our backing. See what I did there? Look at those cute little pine trees? The non-directional fabric is my current fabric of choice!

We know the theme, and the color scheme, we trust the quality of the fabric, and we’ll be up on the housetop together. Who wouldn’t go? Order today! The fun begins July 2025.
