Mystery Quilt Part 4

Please complete Part Three before going any further.  There are 5 parts to this mystery

Part 4

Piece the strips into blocks that will measure 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" (unfinished) as shown in figure 7.  Press all the seams in one direction.  (The nice thing about this block is that you do not have to worry about matching seams!)

You will have 36 blocks measuring 6-1/2" x 6-1/2"

When you have completed all of Part Four, you can go to Part Five, the final part of our mystery quilt.

October 2008 Meeting

Linda will be demonstrating a shattered image block at the October meeting. Please bring your sewing machine to the meeting if you wish to participate. Kits will be available for a nominal cost or you may bring your own fabric. A large scale print will be used. You need four pieces of fabric with the exact same image on it. They really don't need to be square. You can also use a rectangle if that is what you have. Linda cautions that using animals may produce a “freakish” result.

Here is a good fabric example from a Kaffe Fassett fabric collection.

Material list:
Sewing Machine - clean and in working order
Rotary Cutter
Cutting Mat
12"x12" or a 6 1/2"X 12" ruler
Scissors for trimming thread
Thread
Extension cord

Finished block


Block-of-the-Month for October:
The block-of-the-month for October is “leaves”. Anyone wishing to take part should make a leaf block that is 12 ½” square. For each block submitted, the person will get his/her name entered into a drawing to win all the blocks submitted. Hope you all “fall” for this one!

Deb has an October birthday and will bring treats to the next meeting.

Jeanne Freymiller

I know so many of you have been concerned about Jeanne Freymiller Neff.

Sadly, she passed away this morning.

Visitation will be on Friday, Oct. 24, from 10 am - 1 pm, followed by the funeral at 1 pm, all at St Lukes in Plain, WI (address and link to directions are below)

If you would like to send a card to the family, her husband is David Neff, PO Box 247, Blue River, WI 53518

President’s Quilt
Guild members are asked to make a 10 ½” crazy quilt block for Linda’s President’s Quilt. Any color or multiple colors may be used for the block. Linda has asked that everyone use 100% cotton fabric and that everyone autograph their block before turning it into Carol Deckert. One word of caution on the blocks – this quilt will be machine quilted and any embellishment may be stitched on – so stay away from crystals, beads, etc. Any other questions, contact Carol Deckert.

The AQS Show in Des Moines was a lot of fun, well organized and tough on the budget! I hope if you went, you enjoyed it as well.

Meeting Treats
Since my birthday is in October, I’ll bring the “treats” for the October 27 meeting.
See you then!
