I did exactly what was described by this post and when I had to pick it back up as a UFO (got interrupted halfway) I had no problems. Most segments were packaged and the two last clues were right with the pieces and parts in ziplocks. I'm almost finished. I can't wait for the new Quiltville mystery, Grand Illusion. We even have a FB group meeting in my area as the clues are released. This is going to be a lot of fun!
