Kim Diehl’s Mystery Stitch-Along: Installment #7

Welcome to Installment #7 of Kim Diehl’s Mystery Stitch-Along! Read below to find directions for cutting and piecing fabric.

Cutting

From the remainder of the black fat quarter, cut:

• 2 strips, 2 3⁄4" × 21"; crosscut into 12 squares, 2 3⁄4" × 2 3⁄4". Cut each square in half diagonally once to yield 2 triangles (total of 24).

From the assorted cream scraps, cut:

• 12 squares, 2 3⁄4" × 2 3⁄4"; cut each square in half diagonally once to yield 2 triangles (combined total of 24)

From each of 6 assorted bitty bricks, cut:

• 1 strip, 2 3⁄8" × 10 1⁄2"; crosscut into 2 squares, 2 3⁄8" × 2 3⁄8" (combined total of 12). Cut each square in half diagonally once to yield 2 triangles (total of 4; combined total of 24).
• Organize the triangles by print into 6 Double-Pinwheel patchwork sets.

Instructions

1. Using Simple Whatnots III, refer to the Windswept Pincushion project and follow “Piecing the Double-Pinwheel Unit” on page 61 to piece a total of six Double-Pinwheel blocks. Note that each block is made using one of the Double-Pinwheel patchwork sets rather than the scrappy style shown in the book.

PROJECT NOTES

• You will need a copy of Simple Whatnots III for individual block instructions for this mystery quilt.
• Page numbers referenced in each section may differ if you’re using an eBook, so project names and section titles are referenced to help you easily find the needed steps.
• For the best use of your fabrics, please save your scraps each week to use in subsequent weeks.

Use this link for a printable version of the instructions.
