Malcolm's Mystery Quilt

Part 4

by Cindy Jones

This quilt pattern was the first I developed as a Mystery Quilt. The design is very simple and suitable for even the novice quilter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have volunteered to "test drive" my mystery quilt pages. If you have questions you can e-mail me at mcmjones@hawk.igs.net. I hope you enjoy doing this quilt as much as I enjoyed designing it.

Step 19 - Opposites Attract

• You will need
• 1 White 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square
• 2 LBlue 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" squares
• Place the White square right side up
• Put the LBlue squares face down in OPPOSITE corners
• Draw a diagonal line across each of the two LBlue squares, such that the end of each line touches a side of the white square. These are your sewing lines.



• Sew, Cut the corners off and Press

Step 20 - Modified Rectangles

• Time to use the following:
• 2 White rectangles 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• 2 LBlue squares 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• Place one White rectangle right side up with the short side on the top
• Put one LBlue square face down aligning the top edge.
• Draw a diagonal line across the square from TOP LEFT to BOTTOM RIGHT
• Sew on the line
• Cut off the corner and press



• Repeat for the second rectangle, EXCEPT the line will go from TOP RIGHT to BOTTOM LEFT

Step 21 - Making Something

• We will use:
• the rectangles created in Step 20
• 2 LBlue 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" strips
• Add 1 LBlue strip to the Long White Edge of the rectangle
• Repeat with the other rectangle

Step 22 - Some Assembly Required

• You will need
• the blocks from Step 21
• the block from Step 19
• one LBlue 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square
• Assemble as shown below

Step 23 - Bigger Squares

• Find
• one 6 7/8" x 6 7/8" LBlue square
• one 6 7/8" x 6 7/8" Bright A square
• Place them right sides together
• Draw a line on the diagonal
• Sew 1/4" each side of this line
• Cut and press
• You now have two squares

Step 24 - SEW Rectangles

• We need
• one 6 7/8" x 12 7/8" LBlue rectangle
• one 6 7/8" x 12 7/8" Bright A rectangle
• Place the rectangles RIGHT side to WRONG side
• Cut in half on the diagonal, it doesn't matter which way
• Separate and sew opposite colours together to form two rectangles
• You will need to allow for the 1/4" seam when you put the triangles together. You can do this by leabing small tail of fabric at either end of the stitching line.
