**Hey Mystery Quilt participants! I am working on mine and find that some of my fabric choices are only 42" wide so I will need a bit more of some fabrics. So if you haven't purchased yet, be aware. You may want to buy or find an extra 1/8 or 1/4 of a yard. Especially of Fabrics A & B. Sally
2023 Fair Project Directions
Here are the instructions I came up with for the house and tree blocks. I made them up already, to make sure the measurements are accurate and they are, using a SCANT 1/4” seam.
For the house block:
Sew the three 2 1/2” rectangles together, having the door in the middle.
Sew the larger house fabric rectangle above the door.
Sew the 1 1/2 white strips along the side of the house
Sew the roof onto the house.
The block should end up 8 1/2” wide and 10 1/2” tall, if you use a SCANT 1/4” seam.
For the tree block:
Sew the two white rectangles on either side of the tree trunk block.
Sew the tree trunk section to the tree section
Hope this is clear as mud for everyone. If anyone wants to ask questions, they can call me at 778-6643.
For the house block:
- From the white fabric cut a 6” square, 2 (1-1/2” x 6-1/2”) and 2 (2-1/2” x 4”)
- From the roof fabric, cut a 6” square
- From the house fabric, cut a 3” x 6-1/2” rectangle, and 2 (2-1/2” x 4”) rectangles
- From the door fabric, cut a 2 1/2” x 4” rectangle
