#953
You all are so funny It is only 7:45am here in Oregon and I know she lives in Arizona so she may be in the same time zone. I am excited also I loved last weeks clue! I really like how this mystery is going. Okay I need some caffeine to wake me up maybe I will go get me some hot cocoa before Judy post the clue. See you all soon

Clue 6
Remember: You made the 9-patch blocks using E with A, the lighter of the A-B combo, and you used F with C, the darker of the C-D combo. My top photo will remind you of my original fabrics, A to D in the middle, E across the top and F across the bottom.
This week, you will be using the E with B, the darker of the A-B combo. And using F with D, the lighter of the C-D combo.
I have started with my F and D, as pictured in the second photo.
From F, cut five 2½” strips
From D, cut three 4½” strips.
From D, cut four 2½” strips.
Use accurate ¼” seams. Make strip sets shown in photo and described here:
Sew one 2½” strip of F with one 4½” of D.. See the second photo. Press well. You will have a piece 6½” wide by WOF long. Make 2 more sets like this one. Press all 3 strip sets-- all strips sets need to measure
6½“ wide. From the strip sets, square up one end then cut off a 2½” section, making a piece that measures 2½” wide x 6½” long. You will need 48 of these pieces. See third photo. Discard the left over piece of strip set.
Now, Sew the remaining pieces as shown, with the F in the middle, and a piece of D on either side. Make one more strip set. Press both strip sets well. The strip sets must measure 6½” wide. by WOF long. Square up one end, and cut a 2½“ section, which will measure 2-1/2“ x 6½” You will need 24 of these pieces. Discard leftovers..
(Sorry - I forgot to take a picture of the E and B fabrics. See bottom picture for what you will be cutting)
From E cut five 2½” strips
From B, cut three 4½” strips .
From B, cut four 2½” strips.
Use accurate ¼” seams. Make strip sets as described here.
Sew one 2½” strip of F with one 4½” strip of D. Press well. You will have a piece 6½” wide by WOF long. Make 2 more sets like this one. Press all 3 strip sets -- all strips sets need to measure 6-½“ wide. From the strip sets, square up one end then cut off 2-½” section, making piece that measures 2½” wide x 6½” long. You will need 48 of these pieces. Discard left over piece.
Now, sew the remaining pieces as shown, with the F in the middle, and a piece of D on either side. Make one more strip set. Press both strip sets well. The strip sets must measure 6-½” wide. by WOF long. Square up one end, and cut a 2-½“ section., which will measure 2-1/“ x 6-½” You will need 24 of these pieces. Discard leftovers.
I’m sorry I forgot to take some of the pictures as I was working up the sample, but I think you will be able to see what you need to do with the E and B fabrics.
This should keep you busy for a while. We will deal with these pieces next Saturday.

I love your enthusiasm, but hey, I need my beauty sleep! It's not even 9:00 here in Arizona, and remember, at the very beginning I said I would post by 9. I do feel sorry for you east coasters, having to wait, but setting my alarm for 5:30 a.m. to be awake enough by 6 to post clues? Nope. Sorry!
And sunlite, I am so glad you don't know where this train is going to take us. Half the fun of a mystery, right?
