Malcolm's Mystery Quilt

Part 1

by Cindy Jones

This quilt pattern was the first I developed as a Mystery Quilt. The design is very simple and suitable for even the novice quilter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have volunteered to "test drive" my mystery quilt pages. If you have questions you can e-mail me at mcmjones@sympatico.ca. I hope you enjoy doing this quilt as much as I enjoyed designing it.

I would appreciate anyone using this mystery to consider donating the first quilt made to a charitable organization. My first quilt will be sent to the Sunshine Foundation.
