Blocks 11 and 12 of the Mystery Quilt

I am posting this so that people can have a look and then next week we can decide on the layout of your mystery quilt. If you want to just use the twelve blocks you can decide how you want the layout to look. I am attempting to put a lighthouse in the centre if anyone wants to try that . It will be 24 inches square so you can still use all twelve blocks in your quilt. I will bring tissue paper so you can trace it if you like.

Blocks 11 and 12 of the Fundy Mystery Quilt Project 2012

Framed 4 Patch Block

Individual Pieces for One Quilt Block

·         Four 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares

·         Two 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles

·         Two 2-1/2" x 8-1/2" bars

This block finishes to 8 inches so we will need to add another 2 ½ inch strip all around the outside to make our block  12 inches—two 2-1/2 inch by 8 ½ inch rectangles and two  2-1/2 inch by 12 -1/2  inch rectangles

Rail Fence Block

Take  3 strips 2-1/2 inches long from your jellyroll strips and sew them together. Cut the strips 6-1/2 inches –you will need 4 cuts.

OR

If you prefer  cut 12    2-1/2 strips 6-1/2 inches long and sew them into 4 sets of three strips. You can use different fabrics if you want a really scrappy look.
