SewBiz, you were right! Now I have to see if I have any Accuquilt dies that I can use with this. ~ Sandra

Clue 4 - Yay finally get to really use my neutrals (her browns). Seems like it would be easier to make 4 patches and cut on the diagonal. Might need to try this theory out.

Love this clue - will be a lot of mindless sewing enjoyment!
I was suppose to be gone this weekend, but due to fires, snow and someone else getting injured(not serious), plans changed and I have DD and her Fiancee and two mid sized dogs in the house for the weekend instead. Might not get a chance to work on this until after they leave Sunday, as the sewing machine is in the room next to where they are sleeping. I spend my morning out with the LA so that is good. Got one top quilted yesterday while waiting for them to arrive, and then started another one. |

Today's plan for me is to finish both clue 2 and clue 3. I've already managed to get an hour of sewing in before the kiddos woke up, so it's feasible! |

You can do 4 patches but you can't do traditional strip pieced 4 patches. It will involve waste though.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]585391[/ATTACH] You will still need the one bigger square like her directions say [ATTACH=CONFIG]585394[/ATTACH] The edges need to be lined up on one side, then those lined up sides go together in the center. [ATTACH=CONFIG]585395[/ATTACH] This will offset your center seams and give you uneven outer edges [ATTACH=CONFIG]585397[/ATTACH] Then trim as shown. I did this w/ construction paper w/ the seam allowance cut off already. |
Nice job, Kassaundra - I hadn't made it that far into thinking about it yet.

It looked like it worked out in paper but it didn't work out in fabric may need to tweek.

How will we check the size of our units? Each side should measure 3 7/8?
I think this is the same wing unit used in Orca Bay. Those of you who have done Orca Bay, are there pitfalls for the unit? It looks pretty straight forward to me. |
