2013 Mystery Quilt

Mystery Quilt

 

Lets get started on this mystery.  Everyone

loves a mystery so here's one that delivers a

quilt at the end.  Each month I will

be posting a mystery block.  The mystery is

that you control what fabric to use.

At the end of this Mystery I will post my

Mystery Quilt and look forward to seeing all

of yours.  You will go into a drawing

for a Riley Blake Fat Quarter Bundle

if you post your finished Mystery Quilt at

the end of this Mystery.

Here is the first Mystery, good luck.

 

This is our first block.

You will be making 2 of these

blocks, and making them identical.

2 fabrics are needed, 1 light and 1 dark

The following will make 1 block, you

need to make 2 blocks.

 

Cut from light fabric:

6  -  3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares

2  -  3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares

 

Cut from dark fabrics:

6  -  3 7/8" x 3 7/8" squares

2  -  3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares

1  -  9 1/2" square

 

Using the 3 7/8" squares take 1 light and

1 dark with right sides together draw a line

diagonally and stitch on either side of the line.

Then cut on the line to make 2 half square

triangles.  Repeat with the rest of  3 7/8" squares.

You need a total of 12.

Follow the diagram to lay out you pieces,

then sew them together to make your block.

You will needed 2 of these blocks.

Your block should measure

15 1/2" x 15 1/2"

 

Have fun and I'll have another block

the first of March.
