December mystery quilt(s)

 

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas.  We were grateful to take a few days off and be with family.

December's mystery kits are ready to be picked up.  We opted for a project that can be completed fairly quickly.  I think both versions turned out great.

Here is a photo of the quilt using the Tea with Bea collection.

And here is one from the "At the Lake" collection.

As usual, we have some coordinating binding and backing fabrics available while they last.

With the busyness of the holidays, we have not yet selected fabric for the January mystery quilt so keep and eye on the blog site.  We will post photos as soon as we are able.

We will be closed this Friday and Saturday as we celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

We are so grateful for your support and friendship and wish you the very best in 2022 and beyond!

4) 4" light squares

4) 4" black squares

Sew a 1 x 5 1/2 inch green strip to opposite sides of the green and white checked center square.  Press. Sew the 1 x 6 1/2 inch green strips to the remaining sides of the square.

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4 inch light squares.  Place one of these with a 4 inch black square, making sure the rights sides are together and the outside edges are aligned.  Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the line.  Cut on the line.  Square to 3 1/2 inches. Repeat to create 8) half square triangle patches.  Use the photo as a guide to assemble the block.  

Finish the block by attaching the flower using the applique method of your choice.
