Everyone should have it by now. Put your guesses in comments below.
I'm so tempted to give you a teaser about the next Mystery, but we are months away (will kick off in October)... but this is how early the planning starts. I'm in the process of working with a couple different fabric manufactures who want me to feature their fabric, so decision are being made. Maybe I will give you a clue next week. LOL.
Sorry, I'm a little punchy today. I'm running on little sleep as I've been very busy, a good busy.
Before we jump into this week's clue, I wanted to say thank you for all the kind notes. I greatly appreciate them. I hope I replied to everyone, to be honest I was blown away. It was nice to have my email box full of nice notes. :)

CLUE #3
The Over the River Block comes together with the Studio 180 V Block and Corner Pop. Both tools are required for this block.
This block utilizes the same techniques from last week. However we are going to switch the fabric placement, and pop the opposite side of the V Block unit. Plus, make 8 of them.
FABRIC SELECTION
- Great block to use some of your medium prints and small scale prints. For my Fig Christmas II, I went with a medium-dark print for my deep valley and light-medium for the wider angle valley.
- For my alternate selection, Sun Prints 2020, I went with a Split-Complementary plan.
TIPS
Okay, I'm going to provide you with some great tips for making Clue #2. Remember details can be found in the download.
Let's get started.
Since the techniques are almost identical to last week, just a few reminders.
- Cut the Center Triangles from your Background - Opposite of lastweek
- Because we are making Eight blocks, you will want to place your Medium-Dark Strips wrong sides together to cut your Side Triangles.
- Your V Block Units should look like this... opposite of last week.
- You will trim down the V Block Unit the same way.
- Perfect units, that you will pop the pointed side - opposite of last week.
- Pop the Corners
