Life indeed keeps getting in the way, lol. I am off work today and have been working on this quilt, I am working on my green strings (Bonnie's reds) and will be trying to make a flying geese unit to check the size. Have a few of these wings done, although not all. Got some squares cut and hoping to be abke to make a few Ohio stars as well. Wish me luck, lol.

Alderdweller, I am sure not an expert but I used the rulers that were recommended by Bonnie to true up both the strings and the winged pieces. I even blunted the corners so I could match the sides exactly. TaDa.....3.5 by 6.5.

I used the recomended rulers too, I've had them for years and never used them till now - sure am glad this mystery quilt came along to get me familiar with them, and reminding me cut and sew accuratly - didn't have too much trimming to do, I really was impressed how great the rulers made things.

Hi y'all. Well I don't have the rulers, but I just may buy them, lol. I pieced and cut most of my strings from clue 4, and assembled a couple of flying geese, my 3.5'' is good, the other side is an 1/8'' bigger, but I think I can fudge that...I hope anyway, lol. I am going to pay more attention piecing the rest of the flying geese, but if it's 1/8'' all that I am off, I have improved a lot

So very excited as I finished Part 4 sewing of my large Red/burg/purple string blocks this afternoon. Still have to square them up, and then I plan to finish my small blue strings. (Still haven't peeked at Part 8 and the big reveal as yet!!)

Wait till you get to part 5! Sewing those 700 triangles to the 2" HSTs of part 3 are a challenge for me. I am plugging away at them very slowly because I guess I get bored easily with the repetition. But I will get them done, I will, I will.
