Row 1 of Pat Sloan’s 2016 Mystery Row Quilt is a 12-by-60-inch strip made from five finished 12-inch blocks. The original pattern specifies five batik fabrics, exact cutting quantities, and a corner-triangle method using small navy and red squares.
Row 1 at a glance
American Patchwork & Quilting published Pat Sloan’s pattern on November 24, 2015. It uses fabrics from the Hometown Girl Batiks collection by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics. The pattern specifies five blocks, each measuring 12½ inches square before finishing and 12 inches square after assembly; joined together, they form a finished 12-by-60-inch row. See the publisher’s Row 1 pattern.
#1 Best Overall
Row 1 is part of a six-row quilt. In the complete layout, Row 2 is repeated three times for continuity. The full quilt project also calls for binding, backing, and batting; the list below covers Row 1 only. View the publisher’s full project overview.
Fabric and cutting list
The pattern’s cutting plan assumes 42 inches of usable fabric width and includes ¼-inch seam allowances. It directs you to sew right sides together unless otherwise stated.

The named collection is the original palette; availability of those exact prints has not been established. If substituting fabric, preserve the pattern’s color placement and consider print scale so the small corner triangles remain distinct. Confirm that the replacement fabric provides enough usable width for the listed cuts.
How the blocks are constructed
Mark and sew the corner squares
Use a pencil or chalk pencil to mark a diagonal line on the wrong side of each 2-inch navy and red square. The pattern uses these marked squares at the corners of larger squares, rectangles, and background squares. Sew them in place as directed, trim the seam allowances to ¼ inch, and press the resulting triangles open.

Assemble the five blocks
