THE PATRIOT - Aka - The Mystery Quilt A7 - Fabric Requirements



Today's the Day!!!

The Beginning of the Next Mystery...... I hope you are ready, excited, and well - wanting to participate.!!

If you are new to my Mysteries - I am not a patient person, and I get distracted easily.... so the Clues!!

They take about an hour - maybe 2 at the most.....  and I usually time myself, and get rid of all distractions.... ( I might be distracted easily so I need *focus*)

So without further delay:

  Mystery A7 – The Patriot
Fabric Requirements:

This quilt is a really scrappy quilt – so I am going to give you estimates of yardage. I grabbed from my scrap bins and used those first…

Reds:  1 ½ yards  Pick a variety

White: 2 ½ yards   I used a Variety, but one white will work as well

Dark Blues: 1 ½ yards Lots of them – the smallest piece you will be using is a 3 ½ inch square

Light Blues 1 ½ yards  ( ½ yard of 3 different lt blues)

Backing

Batting

Binding

Approximate Finished Size is 62 inches x 80 inches


If you prefer a pdf Head over to my Craftsy store and the PDF will be there for downloads - it will be called ( are you ready????)

I'm in. I am at my winter place and don't have a lot of those colors here so will have to go non-scrappy. I'm sure it will still look great.
