This is it! The final clue for Project QUILTING Mystery Quilt Along is revealed!
Each day for seven days 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.
Yesterday I had you cut out all the background fabrics. Today we’re going to use that up. There is one more thing you need to cut.
Shelf
Fabric (brown … for the bookshelf)
(2) 3.5″ x 32.5″ strips
Sew the two strips together to create (1) 3.5″ x 64.5″ strip.
Lay it all out
If you have a design wall I recommend using it here. You can also lay this out on a table or floor. At this point I find it easy to lay it all out so I don’t mix things up.
Once it’s layout start sewing it together!
- Sew a 12.5″ x 12.5″ background square to the Clue 1/6 Block. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew the 4.5″ x 16.5″ background rectangle to the Clue 2/6 Block. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew the 6.5″ x 8.5″ background rectangle tot eh Clue 3/6 Block. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew a 12.5″ x 12.5″ background square to the Clue 4/6 Block. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew the 4.5″ x 12.5″ background rectangle to the Clue 5/6 Block. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew a 2.5″ x 24.5″ strip to the Clue 1/6 Block Strip. Press towards the background fabric.
- Sew a 2.5″ x 24.5″ strip to the Clue 5/6 Block Strip.
- Keep sewing all the vertical block/background strips until they are all together.
- The final piece to sew on is the 3.5″ x 64.5″ bookshelf strip. Press towards the bookshelf.
