The earlier mysteries revealed on New Year's Day, but I don't get the sense that anyone is expecting a reveal this coming Friday.

I’m enjoying reading and seeing everyone’s progress. I have step 1 completed. Step 2 is 1/3 done but all cut out and marked ready to sew. I thought about step 3, 4, & 5. Since this is a easy week I hope to catch up on steps 2 & 5, and most of step 3 &4. Making Christmas gifts and working on a quillow took my time over the last 2 weeks. Now back to serious sewing on this project. I might get slowed down since I plan to work on the Merry Mayhem NYD mystery.

I finished clue 3 today, and cut and pieced all of clue 4. Just have to press the units and attach to clue 3, but if I try to treadle any more today my legs might fall off 
I have lots of tiny scraps of neutrals to help give the 9p a little variety, and I think I can get quite a few FG out of my gray scraps as well....can't wait to start step 5 tomorrow. Out of curiosity for everyone that is already done, does this use up all the orange? I don't have much left, not that we need all that much for clue 5.

I hate when that happens!
I have all my squares for the nine patch already cut, and today I was digging around trying to find a panel I was sure I bought several years ago. And in digging around I found a small tote of neutral scraps. It's from the quilt I've got on the LA right now. That would have been perfect for cutting those small squares! Though I used mostly scraps cutting what I did . . .
I never did find the panel I was looking for, but I found two others that are similar so maybe I never actually bought the specific one I'm thinking of. I do have some coordinating fabric that would go with it, but I bet I picked that up somewhere else thinking I had the panel and could use it. I did find way too many other panels - probably over 20 of them so I think I'd better not buy any more panels for a while.
