3 FQ's of your focus fabric. This is the fabric you will use to choose the colors of the dark and light prints used in the rest of the mystery. The 3 FQ's do not have to be all the same fabric, but they should all have the same basic colors.
¼ yard (9" x 42") fabric for an inner border. Try a solid or something that reads as a solid in one of the focus fabric colors.
1 FQ light (To make it scrappy, use five 2" x 22" strips in different light prints)
1 FQ dark (To make it scrappy, use five 3" x 22" strips in different dark prints)
2 FQ's that co-ordinate with the dark and light fabrics. Value
doesn't matter, but make it a print that is clearly different from the focus fabric. (To make it scrappy, use eight 4 ½" wide strips
from different fabrics)
1½ yard backing fabric
Optional: extra strips you have laying around, any width, any length.
