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. Prize winners of the hourly door prizes can be found here!
PART 4: It's Not What You Think!
It may be helpful to use masking tape to mark off the ruler at the 4 1/2" lines. It will make it a bit easier to find the correct spots on the ruler. Follow the photo carefully, and be sure to trim them all exactly the same! Next, trim each of your larger 9-Patch blocks to exactly 6 1/2" square, following the same procedure as above. This time the alignment should be a bit easier, because you can now match up each corner of your 6 1/2" square ruler with the seams.
At 2 p.m. Eastern Time GO ON TO PART 5!

Go
back and find the FOUR small 9-Patch blocks you made during Part 2.
Using your 6 1/2" square rotary cutting ruler and referring to the
photos at right, trim each of these blocks to exactly 4 1/2"
square. One corner of the 6 1/2" square ruler should match one of
the seams (as shown at right). The remaining 4 1/2" marks on the
ruler should be aligned with additional seams.
