Yay! I was able to stay on my feet long enough to get all the green strips cut for clue 6, I have about 2/3 of the strips cut into triangles, and about half the triangles paired up with the sets. I even sewed 2 sets of FG units. I haven't trimmed them yet. This step reminded me of something not sewing that I use for piecing that might be a helpful hint to some others.
Because of arthritis and fibro, I can't always do good finger pressing of my seams, so I took an old style, wooden pinching clothespin and took it apart. Tossed the spring. If you look at one half of the wood, at the clipping end, not the squeezing end, there is a rounded piece at the very end. I use this piece for doing my "finger" pressing, It works great and takes very little pressure.
If any of you have hand issues like I do, give this a try and it might be helpful to you, too!
