It was strange to see dry sidewalks and streets today. But we have not had it as bad as some other places. I'm glad you're high enough to be safe, KalamaQuilts.
For better or worse, I've finished clue #4. If I have to do any over, I suppose I should try the other method and see if the results are better. I may have to re-do some sets, as those very dark reds are barely distinguishable from the black. But for now, I'm moving on to clue #5.
