Malcolm's Mystery Quilt

Part 5

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 25 - Scrap Work

• You will need
• 15 scraps 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangles
• 30 DBlue 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares
• Place 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" scrap rectangle down right side up
• Lay one DBlue 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square face down on it aligning top edges
• Draw a diagonal line across the DBlue square, this is your stitching line
• Cut off corner, open and press

Step 26 - Same Scrap, Same Sew

• Rotate the Scrap from Step 25, 180 degrees
• Lay one DBlue 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square face down on it aligning top edges
• Draw a diagonal line across the DBlue square, this is your stitching line
• Cut off corner, open and press



• The result is a triangular piece of scrap with two dark blue corners
• Repeat Steps 25 and 26 fourteen more times

Step 27 - Making

• We will use:
• 15 scraps 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" rectangles
• 30 DBlue 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" rectangles
• Take a 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" scrap and lay it down face up
• Place one 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" DBlue piece on it crosswise at top of scrap
• Draw a line as shown in the diagram, sew on it



• Cut off the corner, open and press

Step 28 - Sort of looks like 26

• Rotate the Scrap from Step 27, 180 degrees
• Place one 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" DBlue piece on it crosswise at top of scrap
• Draw a line in the same manner as step 27
• Sew on it cut off the corner, open and press

Step 29 - Again and again

• Repeat Steps 27 and 28 fourteen more times

Step 30 - A+B = _ _ _ _ (four letters, flies are the bait)

• Take a rectangle created in Step 26 and matching one from step 28
• Sew them together such that the peak of the small scrap triangle is attached to the base of the larger scrap triangle



• Repeat for the remaining 14 rectangle pairs

Step 31 - More Scraps

• You will need
• 15 DBlue 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangles
• 15 DBlue 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangles
• 15 Scrap Blocks from Step 30
• Take one scrap block and attach one DBlue 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangle to EITHER the top OR the bottom
• Take one DBlue 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangle and attach to EITHER the left OR the right side
• Repeat for the remaining 14 scrap blocks, ensure that you RANDOMLY, attach to left/right side and top/bottom.
