Scavenger Hunt Sew Along - Clue Two

 * C l u e   T w o *

Who doesn’t love a pinwheel, they are so much fun,
luckily they’re simple and you won’t need a ton.

Ten little Building Blocks is all that you’ll need,

a few other prints and the center row takes the lead.

Before we get started on this weeks hint I just want to be sure
everyone is on the same page with their center block. Your
center block should measure 5-1/2" including seam allowances.
Please check out this post if you have any questions.

Nobody's Perfect!

 

Let me remind you that this quilt is probably one of my favorite

of all time, so in the end all this trouble will be worth it. 

The first Scavenger Hunt Sew Along post had a little math

 problem. I came home from the shop and tried to make it

work, but it is just not going to. So if you are one of those

 that got right on it I apologize. At least it is just one block. 

We should be good from here on out. I promise?

 The squares for the center block need to be cut 1-1/2"

instead of 1-3/8" as indicated in the book. That will

make the block 5-1/2" square, including seam allowance.

Gather your supplies and lets get going,
it will be so much fun to do a little sewing.

Sixteen Squares is not quite enough,
but this center block is not all that tough!

* H i n t*
Make one block as diagrammed on page 8 of Returning to Temecula
To make the math work out correctly use 1-1/2" squares instead of 1-3/8"
Add additional squares to make a 25-patch as shown in photo above.

Finished Block - 5-1/2" square, including seam allowances

found within the page of my book.

Don't worry there will also be a hint to help you out.
