I finally got started on step 1 today, not done yet. That's a bunch of 4 patches for sure.....

Clue # 3 completed
 

Wow, I love your purples AngeliazNR and Bluebonnets! Mine are now done too. They look more blue in the photo though. I really like this mystery and am anxious for the next clue. It is so encouraging to read all the "words of Wisdom" from many of you more experienced quilters and to see how generous you are in sharing your methods and solutions to problems that many of us are having.

Emily and Carol love your works.

Really clever, Bluebonnets... wouldn't that make an awesome border on a quilt?

Quick question...
We don't have to spin the seams on Clue #3 as in clue #1?
I'm plugging along despite a head cold and medicine head....
Thanks for the help.

Keep the pictures coming! This is so inspirational.

ScubaK, I did spin my seams on clue #3.

ScubaK I don't remember the specific instructions but why wouldn't you spin the seams???? I always spin seams on a 4 patch (or 6 or 8 seams meeting) for much more friendly quilting. When you sew a 4 patch they just naturally want to spin.

Yes, ScubaK, she did say we would be spinning the seams again. They make those centers lie so much flatter!

Bonnie said "Spin, Quilters, spin!" :)
So sorry about your head cold! It's that time of year again sadly. I hope you feel better shortly!

QuiltingVagabond, I'm so sorry about the food poisoning. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I've finished my revisions for clue #2. I am now feeling happy about my neutrals and my magenta (thanks to those who encouraged me with the magenta!). Also making progress with clue #3.
