Patriotic Salvage Part 2

I slept in -- Canada Day, Yesterday, was a busy, busy day!

So.

Lets Sew.

This should take about an hour or so of sewing, not long...

Check back to the stacks of cut pieces that you made yesterday.

First sew 16  B1 to  16 C3  
Sew 16  C1 to the   16  B1/C3 unit
Sew  16  C2 to the  16  B1/C3/C1 unit

Now you have 16  strata units that should look the same as the photo above.  Check and recheck the order of your pieces -- remember anything out of place and the pattern will not show through properly...
Press so that the seams are pressed toward the darker fabrics.
Set these aside for now.

*******************************

Your second strata unit to sew is to sew together 16 A1 to  16 C2 units


Just exactly as shown above, again press your seams toward the darker fabric.

*******************************

Your third section to sew together today is to take the stack of D1's and sew them to all of the D2's so now you have 16 of these little D1/D2 units and you are finished sewing for today...

Press, toward the darker fabric.
You are done for today.

I hope you are finding this interesting so far -- and that it doesn't take too much time on this very busy weekend...

A note about copying -- I have taken the time to create this mystery quilt along with the time to write, calculate and photograph the steps, so I would greatly appreciate it if you do not download or copy my work here. This mystery is free on my blog and if you think you must keep the pattern, and instructions for yourself, your store customers or your friends I would prefer that you donot give away my work. I feel that I am the author and if you want to share my work with others, there will be available after this weekend a PDF file that I will email or print and mail to you for a small fee. Otherwise, please visit my blog for these instructions...
