Yesterday I shared my results from clue #1 of the Grand Central Mystery Quilt from sewonthego.com Today I am sharing clue #2. This one went fairly quickly. It also called for half square triangles of my background fabric (I chose white on white), so I cut those first and set them aside in my trusty ziploc bag. (Same pic below as from yesterday, but it was cut to a different size.)
I forgot to take pictures, but I used Michelle's instructions and the Wedge Star ruler to cut the triangles below as well as get the angle started for the diamond cuts.
After sewing them together I trimmed off the "dog ears". This stage went so quickly, and I only knicked the diamond once. (oops)
After trimming them up I sewed the 2nd set of triangles to the other side.
The final step was to trim it down to size. I LOVE blocks like this that give you wiggle room to trim down. The ruler really made it easy to get is centered and cut perfectly.
Clue #3 is in progress for me. I'll share that soon. This is still a difficult challenge for me, but I am loving how each clue is turning out.
