Englishquilter's Mystery Quilt Clue 3.

Twosies!

Those of you who know me well, know that I never throw my little scraps away! Instead I save every little 11/2" square and have them stacked up by my machine to use as 'leaders and enders' to save thread and enable tangle-free chain piecing. I have accumulated a great stash of 'TWOSIES' and this week I've put a lot of them to good use, as I start on my scrappy version of my Mystery Quilt - 
SO SATISFYING!

I hope you've made good progress with Clue 2 this week, because now I am ready to release CLUE 3 and I will be emailing it to everyone who has signed up already (24 as of today!)
Last week's clue was a lot to do, but this week should be easier and you get to see the main block take shape. 

We are going to be making 'hour glass blocks' for Unit 2.

Here's how it looks. See if you can get your seams to spin at the back, by unpicking the three stitches inside the seam allowance and pressing the seams in a clockwise direction. It helps to make the unit lie flatter in the quilt.

Then you get to assemble the main blocks. This is where you will be glad that you labelled the Units so you make sure you use the right ones. 

If I get time this week I will get it quilted!
Visit me at ENGLISHQUILTER for more details if you would like to join in and I will send you all the PDFs for FREE! (NB: Don't try to buy it - just send me an email request via the contact page). 

If you are a member of my Facebook Group, please feel free to share pictures of your progress. I will try to release further instructions every week, in about 8 instalments. (But I will let you have it quicker, if you find yourself racing ahead - but you will have to keep it under wraps until the 'BIG REVEAL' !)






Happy Quilting Everyone!
