Clue 2 of the 2nd Annual Project QUILTING Mystery Quilt Along

How did the first clue of the Project QUILTING Mystery Quilt Along go?  I tried to keep it pretty easy to get you started.  Today will be slightly more complicated but not really.

Each day for the next week I’ll be posting a new clue at noon CST.  By the end of the week you’ll have all the clues needed to create a cute little mini quilt that will inspire you through the 11th season of Project QUILTING.

I have decided to choose fabrics that have somewhat of a “stripe” to them.  They don’t have to be a super obvious stripes but I think once this is all put together you’ll understand why I chose to use these fabrics.

Block 2:

Cut:

Fabric C (mermaids):
(2) 5.0″ squares
(2) 2.5″ x 4.5″ rectangles
(2) 2.5″ x 8.5″ rectangles
(1) 4.5″ x 8.5″ rectangle

Fabric D (purple/pink):
(2) 5.0″ squares
(2) 2.5″ x 4.5″ rectangles
(2) 2.5″ x 8.5″ rectangles

Make:

Make four HSTs using the same method as described in clue 1.

Sew together two C/D sets of 2.5″ x 4.5″ rectangles.  Sew together two C/D sets of 2.5″ x 8.5″ rectangles.

Layout the four 4.5″ HST blocks, and the strip blocks you sewed together in the orientation shown above.  If you chose to use lined fabric, orientate the blocks so the lines are horizontal.

Stitch the 9 blocks together to create a 12.5″ x 16.5″ block.

That is it for Clue #2!  Be sure to post your progress on instagram and tag me @persimondreams and use the hashtag #PQMysteryQAL2
