** DESIGNER UPDATE **
I will be putting updates as I construct this quilt. As you read in the opening instructions, this is an UNTESTED pattern put together quickly so we would have something to do as a Mystery on SBS.
As I am cutting, I am finding that my calculations are off by 2 strips. I just cut the background and had used the exact number listed. (9) Remember to start cutting your pieces from the strips from the SALVAGE edge because the left over FOLD will need to be opened, pressed and then trimmed to complete the piece count. I cut in this order, 6 1/2, 8 1/2, 4 1/2 and used the remaining fabric from the 8 1/2 cut and the folds from the 6 1/2 to complete the count for the 4 1/2. (I don't like to waste fabric at $12/yard!)
** BUT **I forgot to cut two (2) strips for step 1a. So, if you would, add an additional 2 strips to your count for the background and 1 for the other two colors. We will still fine on yardage, I gave you more for just this oversite.
