Dear Quilters:Just a heads up for those technology challenged: There are no clickable links in a printer-friendly pdf version of the mystery. You need to be on the actual blog POST to be able to click links. If you are trying to click a link in the printer-friendly version, go back to the blog to do it. You can only click links in things that end in .html not .pdf. I hope this helps!Visit the blog at http://quiltville.blogspot.com to view the post where links are clickable.If you can't print, don't have a printer, etc -- visit your local library or ask a friend to print for you.
Please note that I have no control over how your computer or printer print. If it's not coming out the right size, choose option #3 for this unit.
That's why I presented 3 options.
I am loving seeing your progress already!

I'm having troubles with the correct hst size before cutting. I'm also working on Under The Stars, which requires 3 inch squares, and on the triangles, it requires 3 inch squares. The squares with the hst's are 3 3/8th, which I draw a line diagonally, corner to corner, mark the 1/4 inch seam allowance, and sew on the straight line. 2 perfect hst!.
My one sewing machine died a week ago, so I am having it serviced. It started acting weird, then slowed. Today I bought a Janome DC2014. I'm eager to make correct hST's for the mystery quilt, but don't know what the math would be. On the 3 inch finished squares, it's 3 3/8's. What would the correct cut of the square be to make the correct hst for the mystery quilt
I'm such a noob, and way behind.

The problem is with her template!!!
I just printed it and have the following comment

Something is not measuring right here. she said that the rectangle is at 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" but not according to her templates.
Beware!
