1st clue

So the next step after you have your fabric is to make half sqare triangles


Cut 20 squares 3 7/8 of med color#2

Cut 20 squares 3 7/8" of med/dark colour#1

Cut 40 squares 3 7/8" background


make 40 Hst's of colour #2 and background and 40 of color #1and background they should finish at
 3 1/2" square.

 

Use this method of making half square triangles or one you prefer.

Draw a line on the back side of your background square from corner to corner.

Layer one coloured square with one background square right sides together.

Sew a seam ¼ inch from the line on each side of the line.

Cut on drawn line.

 Press open to form half square triangle.

Trim off dog-ears to make 3 ½” square.

 

Hope you have fun with this mystery.

yard sale prep

I'm cleaning out my sewing room today getting ready for a yard sale this weekend. maybe if i sell some stuff i can make room for more fabric LOL. My sister-in-law already sayes it looks like a store in that room (a realy messy store). Hopefully I can remidy that.
 I have two garbage bags full of ties i was going to make a quilt from them but decided that i have to many other projects so i'll let someone else have fun with them. And i have a few antique sewing machines that i bought and never used so its time for them to find new homes to. I have way to much stuff so Im realy trying to downsize the stuff i dont think i'll ever use.

on the topick of yard sales my favorit LQS (www.cherishedpeices.com) is having there annual yard sale this weekend in Tillsonburg so i'll have to find some time for that as well.
