It’s time for your very first week of the National Quilters Circle Mystery Quilt Block Challenge! Are you ready for the reveal? We sure are!
Some of you may have already seen our early release of this block, so below you can find both the official release of the block and some new instructions to go along with them! This week we are making the center medallion of this quilt pattern.
Over the course of eight weeks, we will be creating the Mystery Medallion quilt pattern, designed by the talented Toby Lischko.
Looking for fabric requirements? Find them here!
Click the button below to download a PDF with instructions for week 1. Make sure to share your progress in the Quilt Block Challenge Facebook Group – we can’t wait to see everyone’s work!
If you haven’t signed up for the Quilt Block Challenge, there’s still time! You can sign up here to make sure you get the block assignments delivered to your inbox each week. And make sure to visit Toby’s quilt gallery to see more of her beautiful work!

Love doing mystery quilts.
Hello, I signed up and I’m getting the instruction.
The problem is when I try Facebook to look at everyone’s post. It says closed group. If we’re part of this mystery group why are we blocked out? Disapointed
Hello Susan,
You do have to send in a Friend request to join the Facebook Group. Once we receive the request we will approve it and you will be able to see everyone’s posts.
