MYSTERY QUILT CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

Please note: Because I like borders cut on the lengthwise grain, the focus fabric is cut along the length, that is, parallel to the selvedge. All the remaining fabrics are cut the traditional way...

Cut three strips, 2 1/2" X length of fabric

Cut one strip, 4 1/2" X length of fabric, from one end of this piece cut two squares 2 7/8"
