Detectives have a plethora of 16 different options at their disposal when it comes to selecting the perfect colorway for their investigative endeavors. With a stunning selection of 6 different colors, which are customized by creating an ambiance that suits their unique style and preferences.
As the detective delves deeper into the case, the colorway they have selected continues to play a significant role. It becomes an integral part of their thought process, offering subtle cues and inspiration as they piece together the intricate puzzle of clues. The visual stimulation from the colorway creates an environment that enhances focus and concentration, allowing the detective’s analytical prowess to flourish.


Moreover, the chosen colorway leaves an impression on those involved in the case. It sets the tone for interactions with other detectives, along with other key individuals. Whether it’s a soft, calming tone that helps put others at ease or a strong, commanding presence that demands attention, the colorway serves as a silent accomplice in the detective’s pursuit of truth.
In conclusion, the 16 different colorways available to detectives offer not just a visual feast for the eyes, but a means to enhance their problem-solving abilities and create an immersive environment conducive to unravelling mysteries. So go ahead, choose a colorway that resonates with you, and embark on your next investigation with style and sophistication!

New for Spring 2024 PMQ – Tree of Life Exclusive for Spring 2024 Build the “Cotton Cuts Community Tree” Every detective who signs up for the new Tree of Life mystery will be sent a square piece of fabric. They are instructed to cut it into a leaf shape of their choice, sign it with their name and location, and return it to Cotton Cuts HQ. The fabric leaves will then be added to the Cotton Cuts Community Tree. Every week on the Cotton Cuts Live show, one leaf received that week will be drawn to win a prize.


The Tree of Life symbolizes harmony, balance, rebirth, and connection in nature. It also represents strength, individuality, expression, calmness, growth, and the interconnectedness of everything. Team Cotton Cuts is inspired by the theme of their next Puzzle Mystery Quilt, Tree of Life, and wants to involve everyone in a special project called the Cotton Cuts Community Tree.

Detectives purchasing their PMQ will receive a digital color swatch booklet along with their purchase. This digital swatch card will be permanently stored in their account for easy reference, in case it gets lost. A printed color version will still be provided with Clue 1, ensuring that everyone can continue sewing even if the swatch booklet goes missing.
