Beautiful blocks, Alvastitcher! Don't worry... the reds don't all have to look the same. When the quilt is together it will just make it more interesting to look at.
I'm not jumping into Clue 6 yet because I wanted to do the Quiltbug.com mystery today. She posts a clue an hour, so I will have my hands full keeping up. Will get back to the Allietare afterwards.
