I love Chartreuse!!! I'm swapping hot pink for the orange. Looks like I get to try a little out for this weeks clue!
I always think of these types units in Clue #2 at "Home Plate" as in a baseball home plate! I've never thought to split it in half though! This unique unit has really peaked my curiosity about what she is going to do with these!
I'm hoping to feel up to make a few this weekend. I had a blood draw a couple days ago and have spent the last 2 days sleeping. Thankfully we had some rain here in the California mountains so it was a great day to sit by the fire!

All of the white and purple squares came from my 1 1/2" shoe box. It is almost full, so I had a lot to choose from. I stuck with my aqua constant, even though I had that color in the box as well. I started using Bonnie's Scrap User System years ago! It took longer to complete the blocks, as I had more sewing to do!

Kalama - great quilts. I'm always in awe of people who can do two of BH's quilts. I can barely make a half size, and even then it takes me months. I volunteer at a food pantry Friday mornings so wasn't able to start on this clue until late afternoon. I've cut the strips and orange (red for me) squares. And I found a folded corner ruler I'd forgotten about so will try that method instead of marking a line on the squares.

Only energy I had was to cut the strips and squares. Then went back to bed….another bad night so napping most of day. Hubbie is going to put together a beef stew for the instapot. Gathered all the ingredients for him but then had to sit down..lol.. Eager to work on this clue so maybe later this evening can do a bit…we’ll see. Have a great and productive day!!
