I promised I would get moving on this today and I did!. Most of my four patches did not measure 4.5, so I gave up and dove into my bin of 3 and 4 inch squares and now have the 4 patches finished. Started the quarter square triangles and spent too much time fuzzing with colors. Forward progress has been made. Should be able to get the stars finished tomorrow then sashing and Ta-Da! I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I need to finish before the next mystery starts!
