sides together make a mark 3 4 down from the upper left corner o f the long side make a mark 3 4 up from the lower right corner o f the long side cut on the diagonal from mark to mark repeat for the

cake mystery quilt or scrappy quilts of valor mystery quilt this quilt is on point so i recommend that you lay out your blocks before sewing the top together pay close attention to the orientation of the blocks this picture does not include borders i am leaving borders up to you because the edges are on the bias pin your border on and then sew the borders on with the border fabric on the bottom this will allow your feed dogs to pull in any extra bias fabric it will also help to keep you from stretching the bias edges sew all the rows together first leaving off the 4 outer corner triangles after all the rows have been sewn and the rows sewn together into the top then you will be sewing on the 4 last corner blocks now that you have sewn all the rows together we will add on the final 4 corner squares use the remaining e blocks sew the blocks on pay attention to the orientation and then square up the corners h ere is another chart of the quilt layout showing the block letters wow
