August-September 2021 Challenge
Create a Mystery Project
The August & September activity is a 2-part mystery. This is a great opportunity to use up scraps especially those left over binding strips, but feel free to use whatever makes your heart happy.
August - Part 1
For the month of August, take various width fabric strips at least 11” long and sew them together to make a section that is 11" x 11". You will need 24 - 11” x 11” blocks. You will also need (24) 10” squares of a background fabric.
That's it for August! The next step will be released in the September newsletter.
September - Part 2
The last part of our mystery is as follows:
- Take the strip sets you have put together that are 11 x 11 and trim them to 10” squares.
- Slice half of your blocks diagonally once from the top left to the bottom right.
- Slice the other half of your blocks diagonally once from the bottom left to the top right.
- Take your 10” background squares and cut each diagonally once.
- Sew pieced triangles to background triangles to make half-square-triangle squares.
- We will put 6 blocks across the top and 8 blocks down the side for a twin size quilt. (When it says reference chart, the 6 across by 8 down is the chart.)
We will reveal our creations at the November guild meeting!
