Choice 5 - Mystery? - This 58" x 72" throw will make up nicely in Civil War reproductions, small scale prints, batiks or funky flowers. Make it using 5 fabrics or mix it up by going scrappy with one of the fabrics. Come to camp with fabrics cut and organized in bags or envelopes. Enjoy the fun as the steps are revealed one at a time leading up to the finished throw. You should leave with the throw ready to quilt. Bring more fabric and get a huge start on a bed-sized quilt.
