Week #6 Sunbonnet Sleuth Mystery

Here is the final clue at last. I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I last posted. Where has the time gone? This weekend you can finish the quilt. Are you ready for the big reveal?

Step 1. Hourglass Blocks: Cut 7-1/4" squares, 1 using lime fabric and 1 using teal fabric.
Cut in half on the diagonal twice, then sew together to make 2 hourglass blocks.

Step 2. Arrange the blocks as shown in rows following the layout in the quilt as shown in the diagram. Sew the rows together.

Step 3. Cut the gray fabric into (5) 2-1/2" x WOF (width of fabric) strips. Trim two of the strips to 

2-1/2" x 40-1/2" for top/bottom borders. Sew remaining strips together end-to-end and cut (2) pieces 

2-1/2" x 48-1/2" for side borders. Sew side borders to quilt top, then sew top/bottom borders in place.

Step 4. Cut (5) strips white 1-1/2" x WOF. Trim two of the strips to 1-1/2" x 42-1/2" for top/bottom borders. Sew remaining strips together end-to-end and cut (2) pieces 1-1/2" x 52-1/2" for side borders. Sew side borders to quilt top, then sew top/bottom borders in place..

Step 5. Cut (6) strips 3-1/2" x WOF. Sew all strips together end-to-end then cut (2) 3-1/2" x 54-1/2" side borders and (2) 3-1/2" x 48-1/2" top/bottom borders. Sew borders to sides of quilt top, then to top/bottom to complete the quilt.
