Siodach would you be offended if I borrowed your idea? I "drew" it out on my picture and like it so much better. (my mouse drawing skills are quite lacking but here is the idea anyway)

Some of you are all so fast! I'm still slowly cutting out more tri-rec triangles in the place of Bonnie's clue #7 hourglasses.

Well, I did not like the yellow that matched hers, so tried something more subdued. I also did not care for the 4 patch in the middle, I think I will go with one of the dark purples to contrast with the lavenders. Here is a photo of what I think I'll use. Suggestions please!!!

Wow, everyone has been busy today. I love all the colors and layouts. You can go anywhere with this quilt! Kass, love both of your layouts.

I have figured out some numbers... I made exactly half the clues throughout the mystery and then decided to do a 3x3 layout. I also decided not to do the second neutral border. So... if you are in the same boat as me, my numbers might help you. These are what I had to make in order to do a 3x3 layout without a second border, having half the clue amounts already made:

4 more magenta/neutral tri recs (64 total),
8 more purple/neutral tri recs (48 total),
(had enough neutral 4 patches made... (61 total),
4 more purple/neutral HSTs (36 total),
4 more QSTs with lavender (36 total),
(had enough purple 4 patches made... (96 total),
36 QSTs with yellow (36 total),
9 sets of 4 yellow 3.5" squares.

Then I will assemble 9 big blocks, 12 sashing units, and 24 neutral double 4 patch units.

Here's my first block and sashing unit. I used yellow after all...

Looking good, Jeanie... that purple looks good in the middle.

Jeanie, I like your layout. I think the pattern shows up better with smaller prints. I'm not loving mine as much as I did Celtic Solstice and Allietare.

Of course I don't mind! Your blocks look lovely.
