Thanks Shannon - Mystery quilt coming very soon!

Shannon...over at Pieceful Kwilter...posted a picture of her new fabrics for the mystery quilt I am going to offer to everyone who reads my blog! I designed it myself...and am writing this to confirm..that YES...I am going to post the directions very soon.

I have already had it tested by one quilter...and have a meeting with another quilter next week to test it again. I will begin posting directions by the middle of September....if all goes well.

The directions are already in .pdf format so there should be no problems for everyone to open the files.

If everyone can hold tight...it is going to be a fun quilt. It will finish at nearly 80" square...and use just 3 fabrics. I even designed a border to go with!
