Week 4 Sunbonnet Sleuth


Last week I spoiled everyone by posting the new clue on Friday night. This week, I went out to dinner on Friday night so you are getting the 4th clue in our mystery on Saturday morning as promised. Easy sewing again this week. It's spring, I know you want to divide your time between your garden and your sewing machine so I am trying to ease off on time so you can do both without a conflict of conscience.


Cutting

1.  Cut (4) light yellow 3-1/2" x wof strips. Recut into (40) 3-1/2" squares.

2. Cut (2) zig-zag stripe 6-1/2"  wof strips. Recut into (10) 6-1/2" squares.

Sewing

3. Draw a diagonal line from corner-to-corner on the wrong side of the (40) 3-1/2" squares.

4.  Position a 3-1/2" square in opposite corners of the 6-1/2" square. Sew on the drawn line. Cut away 1/4" from the seam line. Fold out resulting triangle and press.

5.  Repeat Step 4 in the two remaining corners of the 6-1/2" square to complete the unit. Make 10 units.

  2. Done! Looking forward to using that beautiful aqua fabric (maybe next time?). I love the striped blocks.
