16th Mystery Quilt Train Ride Begins Now!
#381
Judy - I have a question. You said:
For the A set, cut two 2” wide pieces of dark each measuring 19” long. Cut one piece of light measuring 3-1/2” wide and 19” long. Sew 2” wide pieces of dark to each side of the 3-1/2” light. Press to the dark. This strip set will measure 6-1/2” wide. Make sure the width is correct. Slice this set into 12 segments as shown; they will measure 2” wide by 6-1/2”.
When finished with this step, the strip will be 19" long by 6 1/2" wide. How can you cut 12 - 2" wide pieces from 19"? Should it have been 24"? I'm confused.

CORRECTION:
Hmmmm ... I corrected that this morning when I saw the error but evidently didn't save the document before closing it. I wanted the strip set to be 25" long to allow for squaring up the ends. Sorry.

Just to let you know, I am only half nuts. LOL When I read over the instructions this morning, I noticed the error in the 19" length, and went into the file to make it 25". Now that I look at it, I see that I changed the length of the B set to 25" -- it originally was 23". Sigh.

Thanks, Paint Me Judy and Retired Teacher 09 for the compliments on the 4 squares. Just about done with the 2nd clue and then on to the third. I'm with Delphinia wanting to verify the 25" length. Fuss budget that I am!
OK, I think I get it...after rereading the instructions. Set A and Set B should both be cut and the 25" length. Yes?
I ask, because I have zero extra of the dark. Gulp!
There's a triple berry pie in the club car for anyone needing some sugar!

Got some done--will finish tomorrow. I knew my light fabric would likely run short, so I used my backup for the big rectangles. It is a very light yellow, though it seems to show up as white in the pictures.
