The only problem is that the finished size needs to be 2.5 not 2

Irish- I'm losing my marbles! That's exactly what you said. I thought you meant the UNfinished size was 2.
Oh no, I think I'm overtired here :D |

Use the easy angle ruler wildcard. You will need to unsew your seams but once I was introduced to the easy angle in a prior mystery I’ve never looked back. The beauty lies in no math or odd sizes needed. Whatever the unfinished size of the finished half square tri, that is the width to cut the strips. I have more tips if you decide to use this method.

KalamaQ, I would love to hear your tips on the Easy Angle method.
I am happy to be caught up after 3 clues! I bought a constant green to use, but then found a green I absolutely love on the bottom of a stash pile of greens; there won't be enough for the whole quilt, but I think I'll use that one until I run out. Now I'll see how much progress I can make on the binding I'm working on before clue #4 comes out. |
I enjoy seeing everyone’s progress. Such lovely pieces.
I’m 1/2 done with step #1. I just need to sew 1 more seam, iron, and trim. Step #2 - I need to iron background fabric, sew and cut. And step #3 - I need to cut strips, mark, sew and trim. I got behind b/c I caught a cold. So I’m a week behind on everything. I’m also working on quilting 4 quilt tops and finishing 2 quilt tops. One top is a pain. I have mis calculated the # of blocks I need 2x’s. The other top I need to put smaller pieces to make 28 blocks, square and I can put the top together. |

Yes please to all the tips and help out there. LOL, and thanks KalamaQuilts for your suggestion. |
Great neutrals, joe'smom!

Well....I’ve read through the clue but haven’t had time to start it yet. What is the 8 at a time method? That sounds like the fastest way to get these puppies done.

I finished Clue #2 yesterday while DH was watching the NE Patriots vs. Cincinnati Bengals game...I was looking forward to starting Clue #3 today but since I lied awake 2 hours in the night thinking about the mailing deadline for Christmas gifts, and since one son and DIL live in Key West and the other family in California, I don’t think I’ll be sewing today.
