If you did last years Summer Mystery or you have listened to me sing the praises of this ruler you may already have the ruler. Below are the yardage requirements to make this 76” x 76” square quilt. If you need help putting your fabrics together, adding fabrics from our shop or just want us to look at your fabric selections to see if they make sense for this quilt we are happy to help. We may have suggestions that will give you the best possible turnout since we know the mystery pattern.
