One-Day Mystery Returns! 

Merry Mayhem presents: Case #121 - Funky Lap Quilt
©2003 Merry May


Inspector Merry Mayhem's Mysteries make wonderful guild activities!

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 5

Count out FOUR of your 2" by 6 1/2" strips of Fabric D (Dark #2), and alternate them with FIVE 2" squares of Fabric E (Coordinating Accent); sew them together to make a long strip. Press seams toward Fabric D (Dark #2). Repeat to make FIVE additional strip sets like this (a total of SIX).

 

 

Please NOTE: You WILL have quite a few of the 2" by 6 1/2" strips of Fabric D remaining!

Next, count out FOUR of your 6 1/2" square funky 9-Patch blocks, and alternate them with FIVE of your 2" by 6 1/2" strips of Fabric D. Press seams toward Fabric D. Repeat to make FOUR additional rows (a total of FIVE rows).

Alternate narrow and wide rows, referring to the photo at right. Press seams toward the narrow (sashing) rows.

At 3 p.m. Eastern Time GO ON TO PART 6: THE FINAL CHAPTER
