I'm slow, too. This is the first of the 3 BH mystery quilts where I haven't kept up with the clues. I was fine with Clue #1, but I haven't finished #2 or #3, much less start #4. But I'm all right with that. I have been working on a quilt to give to a friend for Christmas. It's finally done, so I can concentrate on On Ringo Lake.

Kristi - Beautiful block!

Those colors are gorgeous Kristi.

I went back and forth on buying the folded corners ruler and decided against it since I seldom do projects that would require it...but, it sure would have been helpful for clue 3...

I thought long and hard about the folded corner ruler since I love rulers! But I try hard to avoid that method of piecing when possible, and don't have any problem getting the blocks to turn out the way they should using alternate methods. I also found that with the plastic guide sheet on my machine, I don't need to draw lines even if I am doing something that normally you'd draw lines on as sewing guides. As long as I can line up a corner with a line on the sheet, I'm good to go. I do that more when making pairs of HST.

So it didn't seem a good idea for me to buy it. I already have some specialty rulers that I've found I'd rather use a regular ruler and line up marks to get the same results.

Macybaby, Do you have a special plastic sheet that adheres to the sewing bed of your machine? A friend in our small guild has something that she puts on hers but I have not seen it up close to see what exactly it is. Who makes the one you use?

My part 4 units didn't even need a trim. I love that:)

I can't wait for tomorrow's clue 5!

Oh, pretty block, NZ... And I love your blue 30's repros!

I also watched the video of Doug Leko showing how to use the folded corners ruler... That nixed the idea of buying it, for me. He is still cutting off triangles! I can do so much better and more efficient with my Easy Angle ruler. I'm happy with what I have.

New clue tomorrow... any guesses? I am clueless (pun intended! :D ). But I am feeling like there is only tomorrow and next week left in our mystery. Maybe one more, but she usually wraps it up by New Year's Day. So get ready!

I have finished clue 4. Back to finish clue 3!!!
Wish I knew how to post some pics!

NZquilter, that's such a pretty layout! I love your colors, too!

Kirsten, it's not hard to post photos; you do have to be able to reduce them somehow before posting. I use Fotor for Windows, which is a free download. Once your photo is reduced, you click on the 'Go Advanced' blue button just below the text window, choose a photo with the 'browse' function and then upload it. We'd love to see your units!

NZquilter- love that layout. Your colors are luscious.
