I am making this quilt in 2 color ways. the top one in the momma said sew line from Moda and some Kona solids and the bottom one is mostly Camolot from Jason Yenter with Kona for the background and some Kauphman fabric                                                                                                                                                                                        

this is my new purse I love this fabric line its from Riely Blake

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.
