The Murder Mystery Quilt is a monthly subscription club that reads along together and stitches up a quilt to find clues and solve the murder. This is a mystery quilt in the traditional sense–you sew a block each month and the overall design of the quilt isn’t revealed until all the blocks are sewn–but it’s also a MYSTERY quilt: each month, along with the block pattern and design, you receive a chapter of a mystery story. Each chapter reveals clues as the plot unfolds, and it’s your job to seek out whodunit!
Murder Mystery Quilt 2027:
Join our hero, Kitty Campbell, as she attends a jazz funeral and gets DOUBLE what she bargained for.
Kitty Campbell's very best friend, Amanda Fitzherbert, is headed to New Orleans for her grandfather's funeral. Kitty goes along for moral support, but it all goes off the rails when they find TWO bodies in the coffin!
Kitty is drawn into the world of New Orleans just at the start of the Carnival season. Follow her to a Mardi Gras ball, to parades with floats and threats wearing masks, to a jazz speakeasy, and to an old apothecary in search of answers.
Along the way, you'll build your quilt--or even make it two! Collect clues as we move through the French Quarter and the Mardi Gras landscape, from Bourbon Street to the Marigny and the Garden District, and help Kitty investigate (and eat everything in sight, so bring room for beignets and etouffee and jambalaya and more!).
This year, you'll have the option to make a REVERSIBLE quilt, because every month brings you TWO blocks from which to choose. One is a traditionally-pieced block drawn from historic designs, and the other is a foundation-pieced design that calls to mind the magic of Mardi Gras. Your quilt will grow as the clues pile up, and along the way, you'll learn skills, make friends, and discover a community you can count on.
DAYS UNTIL REGISTRATION CLOSES FOR 2027:

Catch A Killer With Just Your Noodle & Your Needle When You Sew The Murder Mystery Quilt in 2027!
New Orleans, the Crescent City, is full of history, flavor, color and JAZZ, and it inspires the design of our quilt! Combining the colors of the French Quarter with Mardi Gras vibes, your quilt will be a masterpiece of both textiles and crime-solving.
Join the Murder Mystery Quilt as we solve Murder at Mardi Gras with fabrics & colors from your choice between TWO color palette options: one of soft pastels and historic neutrals inspired by the limewashed exteriors of French Quarter buildings, including the soft green of a creeping vine, the warm peach of a soft sunrise, and the haint blue of a Southern front porch; and another of bright festival colors drawn from the parade floats of Carnival season, like deep royal purple, vibrant green, and warm gold alongside amethyst and crawdad red. Each month presents you with TWO block options, one a traditional and historic quilt block, the other a foundation pieced design drawn from iconic Mardi Gras symbols. The shapes of the blocks will inspire and delight you, as well as offering you skills each month to explore as your quilt grows!
Along the way, you'll earn BONUS CLUES and share your thoughts as we piece a quilt that you'll be thrilled to show off!

This has been an AMAZING experience. 2020 has been a very unusual and challenging year in so many ways--I have learned ‘sew’ many tips and tricks in this last 10 months...Everyone involved with the quilt, from the fellow quilters to the admin have been so helpful and encouraging. I feel privileged to have been part of this experience. I am looking forward to the 2021 version!

I’m having such a good time with this project! Some months have shoved me completely out of my comfort zone and that’s ok! Thanks for making this not-so-nice year a bit better with having something to look forward to every month. Can’t wait til next year!

All signed up for 2021. This will be my 5th year. I love the whole experience, from the patterns, the mystery, the story, the facebook group, the admins, everything, nothing is a problem and issues get solved ASAP. I just can't imagine not doing the MMQ every year. Please don’t stop.
Cheers to 2021!~Jenny R
