One-Day Mystery Returns!
The Chat Room is down. We apologize, but due to technical difficulties, we have had to abandon our attempts to maintain a chat room for this event. We will try to find an alternate chat facility for our next one-day mystery. PART 2 Set aside FOUR of your 2 1/2" by WOF strips of Fabric A (light) until later. Cut your remaining 2 1/2" strip of Fabric A in half to make TWO 2 1/2" by (about) 22" pieces. Then cut ONE of these 22" pieces in half again to make TWO 2 1/2" by (about) 11" pieces. You should now have THREE 2 1/2" wide strips: one should be about 22" long; the remaining two should be about 11" long. Set aside FOUR of your 2 1/2" by WOF strips of Fabric B (medium) until later. Cut the remaining 2 1/2" strip of Fabric B in half ONCE to make TWO 2 1/2" by (about) 22" strips. Sew your Fabric B strips to both sides of your 2
1/2" by 22" Fabric A strip as shown in the diagram at right.
Next, sew your TWO 2 1/2" by (about) 11" Fabric A strips to both sides of your 2 1/2" by 12" Fabric C (Dark #1) strip; press seams toward Fabric C. Cut into FOUR segments, each 2 1/2" by the width of the pieced section (should be about 6 1/2" wide). Combine the above units to make FOUR 9-Patch
blocks, matching seams. Each block should measure about 6 1/2"
square, but don't worry about precision too much as far as the final
size goes. At 12 Noon U.S. Eastern Standard Time GO ON TO PART 3 .... Check out the specials in our store! About Merry May
