Well it has been a while... Finally finished this one, and sent it to the Vermont Quilt Festival, where it earned a Purple ribbon, plus the Best adaptation ribbon.
Again, thank you Janet Stone for this beautiful pattern! This one is titled : A-B-Sea for Ewe & Me  |

I think I would like to see these half-sized gems in a quilt show somewhere. It would be fun to have a "Janet's quilt children" exhibit! (did I say this correctly????  :Andrée |

Step 1: Make 8 HST units using the 2” squares from each (#18, #13) color and #16. Trim the HST to 1” x 1”.
Step 2: Arrange the HST units with the 1” squares to make the blocks. Join the units in rows, and then, join the rows. Blocks should measure 3” x 3” from raw edge to raw edge.  Step 3: As per instructions, using a 3” x 3” background . Step 4: as per instructions. The units should measure 3/ x 5-1/2”. Step 5: For the diagonal: On the full size, we see that on one side, the Z is aligned wih the corner of a block, while on the other end, it goes “inside” the block. I chose to center it so that on each block, the Z would go “inside”. To do that, I found the center of the background by folding it, and then, on the release paper as well. I match the center, and marked where the appliqué should be.  I fused the appliqué then join all 3 units. Voilà:  The panel measures 5-1/2” x 7” from raw edge to raw edge. |

Z CROSS
Panel Size : 5” x 6-1/2” (finished) Block Size: 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” (finished) Cutting Instructions: #18: 5 squares 1” x 1” ; 4 squares 2” x 2” (oversize) #13: 5 squares 1” x 1”; 4 squares 2” x 2” (oversize) #16: 16 squares 1” x 1”; 8 (not 9) squares 2” x 2” (oversize) #15: 8 squares 1” x 1” Background: 2 squares 3” x 3” ; 1 rectangle 2” x 5-1/2” Just a reminder when you trace the 50% appliqué: you have to extend ¼” beyond the dotted line to make up for the 50% seam allowance.  Do the same for tracing the middle of the “Z”.  However, you can’t use the 50% copy for placement: ask me how I know… If you do, this is what you will get:  I’ll tell you in the next post how I handled it. |

YANKEE PUZZLE
Panel Size : 3" x 6-1/2" Block size 3" x 3" (finished) Cutting instructions: Color #24: 8 squares 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (will be cut down to correct size, but that will be enough) Each color (#1, #20, #17 and #6) 2 squares 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" Background: 1 rectangle 3-1/2" x 4" Each QST must be 3/4" finished, so, cut them to 1-1/4", aligning the 5/8" mark on the center:  Following the rest of the instructions, the finished block will be 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" from raw edge to raw edge. Then at step 5, sew the background rectangle to the bottom, and appliqué the "Y"in place. I had a 3/4" margin on each side, and 1" at the bottom.  The finished panel from edge to edge is 3-1/2" x 7'. |
