I am so impressed with how well so many of you dealt with clue #3. For me, it was extremely challenging, probably the most difficult unit for me to get right in my short quilting history. I set it aside and made a bunch of microwave cozies over the weekend. It was nice to sew something that was fun and pleasurable vs pulling my hair out:-) I finished up the third clue this morning. I do not want to get too far behind on the clues. What scares me is if I decide to go full size I will have to revisit these little beasties!]

Is anyone using the Easy Angle ruler for the units in clue #3 (for the neutral corners)?
I'm working primarily from small scraps, not necessarily strips. So I am cutting each neutral corner individually ... at least until I run out of out of small scraps (frankly ... it may not happen during this mystery, but I'm determined to whittle down that scrap bucket!). I've already cut and marked a bunch (less than half) of 2" squares when I remembered I have the Easy Angle ruler and I'm wondering if that will work for the neutral corners. |

Nice clue 3's, Cheesehead and tscweaver.

#3 finished. plus about a dozen I stitched backward.
I have less that a 1/2 yard of reds left. We will probably have some fun with blues next. off to play with some more shirts fabrics for the next round on the reversed of Ringo |
I think the browns and neutrals will be next.

GramE: Found you on Pinterest. I am now following you, too. There is more than one pat edginton there and I assumed you are the one with quilt boards and not Duck Dynasty quotes? Hope this is okay with you.

Yep... I used it not only for the neutral corners, but also to make the center parallelograms. I started with 2" strips and cut them with the ruler. Worked great.
The good news is that I did a test block with tris cut from the Easy Angle and got a good unit! Thanks all!! |
