Mystery Quilt
Mystery Clue 1
Well, here we go!
First, I wish to go over the fabric requirements again.
3 charm packs
1 layer cake
120 5" squares (half light color fabric/ half dark fabric)
If you use a layer cake, you will only need 30 10" squares. Make sure you pick out 15 light color fabric and 15 dark color fabric. Then you will need to cut the 10" squares in fourths, to make 5" squares (120 squares).
Now with all your fabric you will first make two piles: one pile for light color fabric and one pile dark color fabric ( each will have 60 5" squares)
Take each of the groups and divide them in half. Now there are 2 sets of 30 light squares and 2 sets of 30 dark squares.
Optional fabric: If you want to have borders on your quilt, you will need 1/2 yard for inner border and 1 1/2 yards for outer border and binding. I make my binding 1 1/4" wide, if yours is wider you will need a bit more fabric.
With out borders your quilt will be 38" x 48"
With borders your quilt will measure 56" x 64"
Now divide and count those squares,

Mystery Clue 2
Now to sew:
Take 60 5" squares ( 30 light and 30 dark) and make 60 half square triangles. Use one light square and one dark square ( laying on top of each other, right sides together) for each triangle. You will draw a line diagonal through the center of the blocks and sew 1/4" seam on each side of the line. Then cut down the middle. Press and square up to 4 1/2" square.
You have five days to square up, enjoy, Next clue Tuesday, July 14th.

Mystery Clue 3
Take the remaining 60 charm squares (30 light and 30 dark) and make 60 four patches.
Draw a line down the middle vertically (not diagonal) and placing it right sides together with another square (one light and one dark). Then sew 1/4" on either side of the line.
Next cut on the center line and press towards the dark fabric. Match this block up with another block sewn the same way . MAKE sure the darks are on opposite sides and the seams are butted up against each other.
Draw a line perpendicular to the seam and sew on either side of that line. Cutting on the center line and pressing. Yields 2 four patch blocks (60 total) that you will square up to 4 1/2"
Have a great time, next clue Thursday, Sheree

Mystery Clue 5
The final attachment will show the layout and my finished quilt.
Requirements for borders:
1/2 yard for inner border (cut at 2 1/2" strips)
1 1/2 yards for outer border
I cut my outer border at 4 1/2" strips but the pattern calls for 6 1/2" strips (you have enough fabric for 6 1/2") I also cut my binding at 2 1/4". You will need 5 strips of each.
Quilt without borders is 38" x 48", with borders 56" by 64".
Look forward to seeing everyone's, Sheree
