When you choose your two fabrics it is important they have good contrast. I went with pink, which was in the original vintage quilt.
We need 24 half square triangles that will finish at 3"- so that means these are 3 1/2" unfinished.
Here's the method I like to use. You can use whatever method you like and works for you!
From my 2 fabrics I will cut 3- 8" squares. (3 lights, 3 print)
Draw lines like this. and layer with your other fabric.
Sew a scant 1/4" on each side of the diagonal lines. Cut on the other two lines. You will get 8 hst from this square! Super simple! Do that with 3 squares.
Press toward the darker fabric and trim to 3 1/2". Admire your work!
Ta-da! Until next Monday!
Have a wonderful week!!
So fun! Will I throw off the cuteness is I use blue?
ReplyDeleteSo fun and quick too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I do have pink! Hope it matches in tones. Otherwise I don't know which direction to go....
ReplyDeletePinks, huh? I will get going on this SAL tomorrow. Last week was crszy busy.
ReplyDeleteThank you....
ReplyDeleteLove this method to do Hst.And in the first part I sew my 21/2 squares.Will they work?
ReplyDeleteHi Lori in keeping with the design ( mystery) should we do the squares in 2 fabrics only, a light and a dark....part 2. My squares in part 1 are a mixture of all sorts of Lights & Darks.
ReplyDeleteHola Lori. Aunque estés ya publicando el segundo objetivo, me puedo incorporar para hacer este Mystere? Cuándo vi los cuatro patch, pensé que lo estabas haciendo sola. Un beso
