Week 2 Sunbonnet Sleuth

Here are the cutting and sewing steps for Week 2 of the Sunbonnet Sleuth Summer Treats Mystery. 



Cutting

1. From the polka dot print cut (6) 3-3/4" x wof strips, from these strips cut: (40) 3-3/4" x 5-7/8" rectangles.

2. From the coral mini-dot cut (3) 4-5/8" x wof strips, from these strips cut: (20) 4-5/8" squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal once to yield (40) large half square triangles.

3. From the coral mini-dot cut (7) 3-1/8" x wof strips, from these strips cut: (40) 3-1/8" squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal once to yield (80) small half square triangles.

4. From the yellow mini-dot cut (2) 4-5/8" x wof strips, from these strips cut: (10) 4-5/8" squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal once to yield (20) large half square triangles.

4. From the lime green mini-dot cut (2) 4-5/8" x wof strips, from these strips cut: (10) 4-5/8" squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal once to yield (20) large half square triangles.

Sewing

1. Join a large coral mini-dot triangle to the long side of a polka dot print rectangle. Join a large yellow mini-dot triangle to the opposite long side of the same polka dot print rectangle. Fold both triangles out and press seams. Make 20 units. 

2. Join a large coral mini-dot triangle to the long side of a polka dot print rectangle. Join a large lime green mini-dot triangle to the opposite long side of the same polka dot print rectangle. Fold both triangles out and press seams. Make 20 units. 

3. Join a small coral mini-dot triangle to the ends of the polka dot print rectangle to complete a unit. Join the small triangles to all of the units using both the lime green and the yellow large triangles. Make 40 units.

    1. my two favorite online shopping sites are Hancocks of Paducah – http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/
      Marcus Fabrics does a lot of business with Hancocks so I would try them first.
      The name of the collection is: Spintastic, they are designed by Laura Berringer. It is new so it may be early to find them. Did you ask your local quilt shop?

      and equilter.com – http://www.equilter.com



      But there are a lot of other fabrics out there that would be just as fun if you can't find this collection.
