Row 6 of Pat Sloan’s 2016 Mystery Row Quilt is a 9 × 60-inch row made from ten house-style blocks: four A blocks, three B blocks, and three C blocks. After assembling it, join all six rows to make the 60½ × 63½-inch quilt top, then layer, baste, quilt, and bind it.

Row 6 at a glance

  • Finished row size: 9 × 60 inches.
  • Finished block size: 6 × 9 inches.
  • Block count: four A blocks, three B blocks, and three C blocks.
  • Fabric basis: the listed yardage and cuts assume 42 inches of usable fabric width and include quarter-inch seam allowances.

The pattern was designed by Pat Sloan using the Hometown Girl Batiks collection by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics. The full quilt has six rows, each with a different block design.

Row 6 fabric requirements

Fabric Amount
Cream circle batik ¼ yard
Red sun batik ¼ yard
Aqua swirl batik ¼ yard
Red circle batik ⅛ yard
Green batik ⅛ yard
Multicolor circle batik ⅛ yard
Navy batik ⅜ yard

The cutting plan uses 3⅞-inch squares for half-square-triangle units, 2½-inch squares, and 2½-inch-wide rectangles in specified lengths. Cut each fabric according to the pattern’s fabric-by-fabric cutting list; the yardage alone does not determine the number and lengths of each piece.

Make the Row 6 blocks

1. Make the triangle-square units

Mark a diagonal on the cream squares. Pair them with the designated colored squares, sew two seams ¼ inch from either side of the marked line, then cut on the line. Press the resulting units open. These half-square triangles form the colored roofs in the house-style blocks.

Why the quilt uses repeated and simpler rows

Pat Sloan repeated Row 2 three times to create continuity across the quilt. The designer also notes that simpler spacer or blender rows can provide visual relief among more complex rows. This is the composition rationale for this quilt, not a rule that every sampler quilt needs repeated rows.
