It’s the last week of our Mystery Quiltalong with Bea of Beaquilter, and today the mystery shall be revealed! We don’t make you wait any longer! 
Let’s finish this up! There are a few more strips to cut and sew, then we’ll be finished with the blocks and ready to assemble the top!
Cutting Directions
Fabric C: Cut (2) 2 ¾” WOF
Fabric D: Cut (1) 2” WOF
Fabric F: Cut (2) 2 ¾” WOF
Sewing Instructions
Step 1:
Just like last week, sew 2 ¾” Fabric C and F strips together and iron to one side. Make 2 sets.
Step 2:
With 1 set, sew 2” Fabric D to side of fabric F. Trim both strips to 2”, making 16 of each.
Now comes the fun part of assembling the blocks!
Step 3:
Sew strip sets (AEB) to the top of strip set (BGA) only 16 times. Then do the opposite with remaining 16 sets.
Step 4:
Now sew block together following picture.
First, sew short sections of CF strips to sides of large diamond blocks (pay attention to the triangle that’s a different color, it will point toward the upper right), then sew long CFD sections to the top of those.
Then sew the 6 part strip set just made to the top and the small diamond block to the edge of remaining 16 strip sets and sew these to the sides.
Blocks should be 9 ½” unfinished.
Quilt Top Assembly
Looking at picture of quilt, sew blocks together by twisting and turning them, like a large stained glass window.
Cut (5) 2 ½” binding strips from your last fabric and create binding.
Quilt as desired. Bind. Voila!
Bea was introduced to quilting in 2004 at a church class, but it took a few years for her to get hooked. Her passion took hold when she started making charity quilts and entering quilt shows. In 2009, Bea’s husband bought her a longarm machine, and she began taking custom orders. She, her husband, and their three children live in a small town in North Carolina. Bea has won numerous ribbons at county fairs, quilt shows, and guild shows, and she is also an avid blogger at www.beaquilter.com and has had work published in numerous magazines!
