I agree that option #3 looks the easiest, even though the triangle will end up waste (I don't bother to keep such small components). I've also wondered if sewing three strips together and then cutting at a 45 degree angle might not work also for those of us using one fabric per colour? I might play around with that as well.

Dear Quilters:Just a heads up for those technology challenged: There are no clickable links in a printer-friendly pdf version of the mystery. You need to be on the actual blog POST to be able to click links. If you are trying to click a link in the printer-friendly version, go back to the blog to do it. You can only click links in things that end in .html not .pdf. I hope this helps!Visit the blog at http://quiltville.blogspot.com to view the post where links are clickable.If you can't print, don't have a printer, etc -- visit your local library or ask a friend to print for you.
Please note that I have no control over how your computer or printer print. If it's not coming out the right size, choose option #3 for this unit.
That's why I presented 3 options.
I am loving seeing your progress already!

I'm having troubles with the correct hst size before cutting. I'm also working on Under The Stars, which requires 3 inch squares, and on the triangles, it requires 3 inch squares. The squares with the hst's are 3 3/8th, which I draw a line diagonally, corner to corner, mark the 1/4 inch seam allowance, and sew on the straight line. 2 perfect hst!.
My one sewing machine died a week ago, so I am having it serviced. It started acting weird, then slowed. Today I bought a Janome DC2014. I'm eager to make correct hST's for the mystery quilt, but don't know what the math would be. On the 3 inch finished squares, it's 3 3/8's. What would the correct cut of the square be to make the correct hst for the mystery quilt
I'm such a noob, and way behind.

Ok so maybe I'm in the doghouse... but I could make a paper-piecing hoozie and probably fit 12 on a page. I just did this for the HST and it was a breeze.
The problem is with her template!!!
I just printed it and have the following comment

Something is not measuring right here. she said that the rectangle is at 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" but not according to her templates.
Beware!
