Hmm, sounds like fun....found this thread by accident....will it always be posted on board, or is there a secret passage to keep in touch......I think I want to try this, but if I can't find the rest of the steps it will be frustrating....ok, going downstairs to sewing cave, pulling out my 3 1/2" die and begin cutting..........
I am also one that will be beginning with this Ride later, we are visiting grandchildren in Phoenix so are not home right now (where all my fabric is).
Emma - I did bring my BH Mystery pieces to finish sewing together, always have a sewing machine in our RV! I got way behind during the holidays and have not caught up yet. I usually don't finish her mysteries until the end of January anyway, so am on schedule for me! LOL

Emma, your darks look like mine. I went even darker. I don't have many lights, so by using the darkest of darks, my other colors become medium and lights.
can't wait for next Saturday for the next clue. this stuff is addicting.

I like your suggestion, Judy, of 'making lights' by using the other side of some mediums. now I have a new bin between mediums and lights...it is called "flipables".
P.S. there are some where I like the other side best !

What I'm going to do is 'create' 12 X [7.5" square] blocks, each in a different colour, and strings sewn on the diagonal. These will then be sliced and diced into quarters, which I will be able to mix and match into 4-patches as per the original pattern (I know will have to trim a bit). I hope that the directional strings will form a secondary square-within-a-square effect...
Spent this afternoon sorting out my drawers

I'm going to try to keep up with this Mystery. Here's my first nine 4 patch.. I'm wondering??? could a 9 patch be made of 1.5" stamps to be integrated into the current 4 patch's we're making now? I have a lot of stamps...

Lynnie: That was my reasoning completely, start dark and then you have almost limitless possibilities as you go up the value scale.
Judy: Thanks for the info on the larger sizes, I can't seem to make anything but a bed size.
