I spent some time this evening playing with various numbers to see how things could possibly be arranged to make the quilt come together given how many square inches are already accounted for in the first five clues. I'm going to go on record with a guess for what's left for us to make:

- a 1 inch inner border AND
- 36 3x3" corner stones

If I get a chance, I'll snap a photo of my guess at the arrangement of what we've got so far.

So will clue #6 include the reveal or does that come later? Stopped to do #5 and will go back to 4 once done. Just curious as this is my first MQ. Used Bonnie's colors but not as scrappy.

I am just wondering..... I am doing this quilt quarter size, which means that I am only doing one-forth of all the units. When it comes to unit 5B, should I make only one unit, or four? It may be that these will be the corners of the quilt, and if so, I will in fact need four of them, as will anyone else who is downsizing this quilt.

I guess because it is only four units, I will make all four and assume that they will be the corners. It would be nice to know, but that is the mystery of it all.

Susan Susan: Have you used the CT whites before? I usually use Kona white but was wondering how CT's compare.

LOL! I am amazed to see 142 pages of posts! Silly me. I'm usually in the Vintage section ogling the machines and thought this morning "oh I wonder if anyone on QB is doing the mystery quilt?" Hahaha! I guess so!

This is only my second quilt ever and I got a late start but am all caught up and eager to see how it's all going to come together! I just finished Clue #4 at 11:30 pm Thursday night and did all 29 squares yesterday for Clue #5!

I'm scanning through now to see all the fabric choices and squares done!

interesting...so a 34" square inner border around some of the units(which would be blocks at that point) so subtracting the 324 for cornerstones (interesting) and then subtracting 4" and dividing by four it comes out even and is a very interesting idea, colorfulmom

Here's what I get when I try to figure out what Bonnie has in store for us. Even if I'm right, I still can't figure out how she's going to twist and turn the pieces to give us those great secondary patterns that are in all of her patterns!

The orange highlighted bits are what I think we still have left to make.

Actually, the border I'm seeing is around everything except the clue #4 blocks and the four "odd" blocks from clue #5, which could be an outer border. So my 1" border would go around a 78" center, bringing it to 80", which would make the 4" border formed by the clue #4 and 5 blocks come right up to the 88" that Bonnie has stated.

wonder what color an inner border might be.....if there is an inner border.....

being that close to Clue 3 blocks ... probably not neutral, green, or even black ... if there is a inner border..anyone reading this...these are 'best guess'....from the clues so far


do not sew anything by these guesses !


sure is fun sharing guesses

I'm so glad you are keeping up with the math for us, Sun... my brain just doesn't want to work that hard!

I can't start my blocks yet as I still have my company in from Christmas and we are enjoying using my dining table for playing games and such. There will be time enough to sew when everyone's gone.

I was glad to be able to pick through my aqua squares for this clue!
