Clue 5 from the Provence Mystery is completed and in the box!

How many will I get?

December 9, 2016
Working on the Provence Mystery...figuring out how many strips cut 2" by 20-22" are needed for the 4 patches. One set of 4 patches (221 units, neutral on neutral) and one set: 168 Purple on Purple. 45 Strips for the n/n and 34 strips for the p/p. Scrappy vs planned yardage? This method gives me the advantages of both techniques, without having too many units left over.

How many 2" squares do you get out of a Fat Quarter?

http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/en-provence-mystery.htmlSo much has happened since my last post - Most recently, I got a new Juki F600 machine, and Harriet Hargrave's book, Vol. 1 Quilter's Academy. Between the machine and excellent instruction, I feel like I am learning to sew all over again. Two quilts were finished and gifted in the past year, and I am ready to start Bonnie K. Hunter's Mystery Quilt for Dec. 2016.

First question...how many fat quarters would I need to do the neutrals in Clue 1?

Answer:

I will assume my FQs are not cut straight so I will plan on getting only 8 strips out of 18" of width.
Each strip is 10" long. thus I need 5 FQs plus 5 Strips for each tint of neutral.
