Simple Whatnots IV Mystery Stitch-Along

Welcome to the Simple Whatnots IV Mystery Stitch-Along!

For many years, as Kim has released each new title in her best-selling “Simple” series of books, she has created a bonus unpublished quilting project as a special way of saying thank you to those who have chosen to include it in their quilting library. And Simple Whatnots IV continues that tradition! 

When the new year begins and the tinsel has been packed away, take a deep soothing breath, cast aside the winter doldrums, and grab your copy of Simple Whatnots IV. We’ll provide six weekly sets of “clues” to enable you dive into your book and stitch up an adorable exclusive patchwork mini.

Here’s what you’ll need to stitch this Midnight Snack 18 1/2" x 21 1/2" mystery mini: 

• Assorted-print scraps in any color scheme of your choosing, equivalent to approximately 1 yard (Kim’s quilt is totally scrappy, so the more bits and pieces of prints the merrier!) 
• Cream-print scraps, equivalent to approximately 1/3 yard 
• 1 fat quarter (18” x 21”) of a complimentary print for binding (installment 6) 
• 2/3 yard of print for backing (installment 6) 
• 24” x 27” rectangle of batting (installment 6) 
• Standard sewing and quiltmaking supplies 

Project Notes Before You Begin 

You’ll need your copy of Simple Whatnots IV for the individual block instructions included in this mystery quilt. 

Page numbers referenced in each installment may differ if you’re using an eBook, so project names and section titles are referenced to help you easily find the needed steps. 

If you’re new to quilting, “Kim’s Quiltmaking Basics” section beginning on page 120 of the book outlines the simple steps used for stitching this patchwork project; please refer to this section as needed.
