LONG MAY SHE WAVE - A Patriotic Mystery - Fabric Requirements



The day is here!!! Its *supposed* to be fall like weather.... its time to dig back in to quilting....

Today the Fabric Requirements are coming out - the First Clue will be posted on September 21st - and a new clue will be released weekly HERE ON THIS BLOG until the mystery is over. 

Most clues take an average of 1-2 hours per week. 

You will need the  Companion Angle and the The Easy angle  Ruler for this mystery.




( yes there are other ways to make the components - but! I will be showing you how to do them with this ruler only)

The Quilt will finish at 62 x 81 inches. Shameless plug - it is PERFECT for a Quilt of Valor® quilt.

Downlead the clues - they will be removed when the mystery is over, and then will be available for Purchase in my Quiltygirl Etsy Store.  ( it funds my fabric habit!!! )


FIND THE PDF for the Fabric Requirements HERE

or here you go!
