February mystery quilt

The February mystery kits are ready.  

 Note: we will be closed the week of March 3 to participate in a quilt retreat.

 

You may recognize the pattern as we have used it to create a beautiful Christmas quilt previously.  I think it is striking with the gold background fabric and the use of primary colors.  

The final border didn't fit into the $39.00 mystery quilt budget this time but we have plenty available if you choose to add it.  It only takes a yard, which we are selling at the discounted price of $9.99. 

FYI - the parking lot in back of the library is being redone so it means more vehicles looking for parking spaces on main street.  You are welcome to use our back door if it is more convenient for you.  (Not pretty but accessible.)

The March mystery quilt will be using a layer cake from the "Cowboys" collection by Riley Blake designs.  This one will also have an optional border.

 

Happy Sewing!

 Block 9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this block you will need:

4) 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" green squares

32) 2 1/2" background squares

12) 2 1/2" red squares

8) 2 1/2" pink squares

1) 4 1/2" square for the center (you provide)

Sewing:

Draw a diagonal line on the back of 16) 2 1/2" background squares.

Place a 2 1/2" background square on a corner of a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" green square with the right sides together and the outside edges aligned.  The drawn line should run from edge to edge of the rectangle.  Sew on the drawn line.  Trim 1/4" from the seam and press.  Repeat on all four corners of each of the four green rectangles.

 

Sew 4) 2 1/2" background squares, 3) 2 1/2" red squares, and 2) 2 1/2" pink squares together to create a nine patch block.  (Refer to the photo for color placement.)  Create 4 nine-patch squares.

 

Use the photo above to sew the units together to create the block.

 

Sew 8) 2 1/2" print squares into a row and sew to the bottom of the block.
