Clue
#2
For this clue you will need your Dark #1 – Red in my Example
and your Light – White in mine
From your Dark #1 Cut
1 – 3 inch strip Width of Fabric ( WOF)
1 – 3 inch strip Width of Fabric ( WOF)
Sub Cut
into 12 - 3 inch squares
12 – 1 ¾ inch Strips
Sub
cut into: 12 1 ¾ x 8 inch strips
: 24 1 ¾ x 9 ¼ inch
strips
:
12 1 3/4 x 10 ½ inch strips
I don’t like to waste fabric – so on 3 strips I cut the 4
- 8 inch strips – and the leftover was 10 ½ inches – but check your strip
length to make the best use of your
fabrics.
From your Light Cut:
5 – 1 ¾ inch width of fabric strips
Subcut
into: 12 - 1 ¾ x 5 ½ inch strips
24 - 1 ¾ inch x 4 ¼ inch strips
12
– 1 ¾ inch by 3 inch strips
I started with the 5 ½ inch sizes and worked my way down.
If you original wof strip is smaller you may need 6 strips
STEP 1:
Sew a 1 ¾ inch x 3
inch Light strip to your 3 inch Dark #1 – Press
I press to the dark side
STEP #2
Sew a 1 ¾ inch x 4 inch Light to the piece you made in Step #1
STEP #3
Sew 1 ¾ inch x 4 inch to
the piece you made in Step 2.
STEP #4 -
Sew the 1 ¾ inch by 5 ½ inch piece to the final edge:
And
your final for this clue should look like:
Save the other red Strips – I promise you will need them
soon!!
