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.

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
