Tested out my colors and my block size. Can't believe it...perfect 4 1/2 inch block without trimming! I prewashed my fabrics, starched the bejebers out of them, pressed, and cut with my Accuquilt value die. I've only done two blocks so far but have everything cut out for Clue one. Will work on them when I can. I decided to use constant colors and changed the black to brown. I have left over yellow, green, and neutral from Celtic mystery that I'll be using. I found out also that if I rip the fabric selvage to selvage in 18 inch segments it's so much easier to starch and press and cut strips. I've never done that before but the lady at the LQS rips all her yardage cuts so I thought I'd give it a try. Works for me!

Everyone's colors choices are so great. I decided on constants just to do something different this year.

Hugs!
