# Tea and Crumpets Mystery Quilt Blocks

Let’s put some Tea and Crumpets Mystery-Quilt Blocks together. Before we get started, though, I need to admit a mistake…

## I Meant to Do That…

Somehow in my enthusiasm for this pattern, I miscounted the number of square-in-a-square blocks I needed. The PATTERN was right, it was the quilter who was wrong. Of course, there is no way I can get any more of the fabric with the little motifs, so I substituted a solid color for the missing square-in-a-square blocks.

So that means I have two Fabric #1’s and two Fabric #2’s. Argh!

### **Assemble:**

- (4) Fabric #1 Square-in-a-Square Blocks with no accent corners
- (3) Fabric # 2 Square-in-a-Square Blocks with a green accent corner
- (1) Fabric #2 Square-in-a-Square Blocks with no accent corners
- (5) 6-1/2″ Backgrounds Squares with no accent corners
- (3) 6-1/2″ Background Squares with blue accent corners

Create these four blocks. Press the row seams AWAY from the square-in-a-square blocks. When you sew the rows together, you can press that seam open or [twirl it to reduce bulk](https://scrapdash.com/monthly-color-challenge/). All blocks should finish 12-1/2″ square.

The above block is Block One. Make One block and label it as Block One.

These are blocks Two and Three. Make two of these and label them Block Two and Block Three.

## Putting the Final Group of Blocks Together

Let’s put the final group of blocks together. Be sure to label everything so you get it in the right place when you sew the blocks into rows. Use a pencil to write the block number in the seam allowance on the back if you don’t have any stickers.
