Brown Bag Mystery

Brown Bag Mystery is an annual program run exclusively with Sewposium shops. It's a double mystery with both a mystery pattern and mystery fabric! To participate, simply purchase a bag online based on the shown focal fabric. The coordinating fabrics are a mystery, but each bag has been carefully curated by our team based on the finished pattern. This Brown Bag Mystery Quilt will finish at 50" x 66" before optional borders.

Once you have your bag(s), you can join Karen Montgomery's private Facebook group and start preparing for the program by following the cutting instructions in your bag. Then, starting in March, assembly clues will be released every 2 weeks. We will mail clues out to all of our bag purchasers (unless you tell us otherwise). The beauty of this program is that the final pattern will be revealed to you gradually over the course of 8 weeks. Along the way, you'll learn invaluable tips and tricks from Karen Montgomery via her private Facebook group and the wonderful community of participating sewists!

Included in your bag:

The required 6.5 yards of mystery fabric for your quilt top
Cutting instructions (in your bag) and pattern clues (mailed bi-weekly)
Admission to the private, participant-only Facebook group
Access to video lessons from the pattern designer, Karen Montgomery

Suggested Products:

To streamline your creative adventure, we are offering a finishing kit that includes both border and binding fabric for your quilt. You can also complete your project with a coordinating backing option. Both of these additions are entirely optional and sold separately. With the purchase of a finishing kit or backing option, we will curate your add-ons to coordinate perfectly with your chosen bag.

Plus - don't forget to pick up a Creative Grids Square on Square Trim Tool, which is highly recommended for the brown bag quilt and required for the bonus table runner.
