I'm working a little out of order, but this is my best guess at the layout. I don't have any of the bricks from clue #5 yet, and I'm not sure where they will fit in. If these blocks are set on point, then we would need 18 setting triangles plus 4 corners, so that is a possibility. That would use up the paired bricks and the remaining HST 4-patches from clue #5. When I do the math though, this layout falls about 11" short in both dimensions. It will only work if there is some sort of narrow sashing between the blocks. I'm eager to see what news Friday brings!
