• As always, each week, I will feature a mini-pictorial on my Blog and provide a couple quick tips for each week’s block(s), which will remain online.  However, the Blog will not have the detailed measurements, those are in the Clues, and the Clues will only be available through a membership. 
• Recommendation: For those needing/wanting additional help, I highly recommend the Clue & Class Membership Option which will give you that extra help with step-by step guidance.

Back at this clue!

For fabric selection, pull an even balance of color and pattern, leaving an even balance of color and pattern.

Here are the selections I made:

My strip selection from Paisley Rose

My strip selection from Bermuda Batik

This is also a great time as we approach the mid-point of the Mystery, and take a lot at all of your Blocks together and assess what colors/fabrics have not been represented yet.  Take a look at what Fat Quarters you have left to ensure you keep those in mind in the upcoming Clues.  

My Blocks from my Paisley Rose

My Blocks from my Bermuda Batiks
