Everyone units are looking so good! I love seeing the alternate colors but even those using Bonnie colors look good with all the different fabrics!

Kalama your shirt quilt looks fantastic!

This is my third Bonnie Mystery but FIRST time being caught up through Clue #4! I am off work tomorrow so I hope I can get Clue #5 all finished before I have to work Saturday. The last 2 Clues have been rough but I think Bonnie will go easy on us for the next one.

For Clue # 4 I used 2 methods -- cutting each unit separately and also uneven 4-patches. Both methods turned out pretty accurate units. I checked all of them for size and only had to sliver trim a few.

Maybe this tip will help someone else -- I found I could use my Square in a Square ruler to trim and it worked really well. I agree with Belfrybat and SooBDo who speculated these Clue 4's will eventually get sewn to a triangle BUT - Bonnie can be tricky - maybe she has other plans. If so, it will be easy to cut my uneven 4-patches with my Square in a Square Ruler also.. I am not usually one for specialty rulers but I bought the SinaS for another project years ago - haven't used it since but it worked for me on this clue.

I think it was Kassaundra who said all these parts look like they belong in a Fireworks block - Great guess; I had to look that one up but you might be right so I tried a version of it. We would still need some 2" squares and something to sew to Clue #4. Maybe white?

Wonder if this mystery will include sashing units - or be set on point. It's fun to guess but in the end my guesses usually end up very different than Bonnie's plans!
