    I love all the layouts and colors shown! I really like the circle layout that NZ made.

    Finishing up Merry Mayhem's Mystery and then I will get back to this.

    I don't have clue #6 started, or #5 done for my alternate colorway, but had to put some units up anyway!

    I am going to break up the ending three steps:

    1. Make the green/yellow/neutral hourglass blocks and the sashing units, and the border units.
    2. Put together the sashing strips, the inner/outer borders, and the blocks.
    4. Put the center together and sew on the borders.

    I know now I will feel better if all the units are just ready to construct at the end, instead of stopping--oh, now I need to piece the sashings, or piece the borders....

    I don't think the fabric I got for backing and binding will work, so we will see at the end.

    Right now, I am still on Clue 6. All cut but not sewn.

    Here is what I have so far. [ATTACH=CONFIG]564751[/ATTACH]

    Pretty KrisB. I am just starting clue 6 as I was sick all week. I got twisted and have some greens on the wrong side of the hourglass ... I need to double check and sew the same consistently, I guess. I keep mistyping and writing clue sick so perhaps I need a little more recovery.

    I do love the reveal and am anxious to see all the variations that may show up.

    Pagzz, I realized I needed to have the neutral on top when I sewed th 2 triangles together. Maybe that will help you.

    OK here we go again..... I tried her way and since I messed up the green hour glass blocks I ended up with this pattern and I also was thinking maybe I like the melon colored star that shows on the single block. If I make it I may make the single block 4 times. That doesn't make much sense when I type it. lol. But I think I know what I mean. Remember I am making a topper (4 blocks. )O M G my head is spinning. Time for a break. lol. Have fun with your blocks. They are really looking good everyone. I'm so glad I kinda followed her colors. I would never have laid it out if I hadn't.

    Default quarter size 2016 mystery on the working wall

    pieced the big yellow blocks into 1/2 square triangles adding a little aboriginal fabric Rob brought from Australia.
    I came out with extra purple trirex, and had to make two neutral 4 patches. Pretty good

    the purples look blue in this image
    38 X 60 unsewn. I might change it a little bit, I don't like to go over 40" quilts on the banister.

    Bonnie always says take what you want, change the rest, she doesn't mind.
    I like it, it will hang from the loft bannister

    Love EVERYONE'S colors! So much fun!!!

    I have made some decisions.

    I was going to do a red / white fussy cut print for the yellow squares, but finding one I wanted was going to mean ordering online and hoping the colors would work, not to mention the print. I wanted white background w/ red an over all print makes the red look pink, from a distance didn't want that, so I decided the black and white cat print would make a great yellow.

    I didn't have enough so I'll get more of that this week locally.

    I am changing out the center from the 4 patch to either a pinwheel or a square in a square, the pinwheel would be so much easier a handful of magic 8's and wham bam done. Either way it will be from the dark teal and darkest black, grounding the center and hopefully "popping" the light b/c cat fabric.

    And I am going to make it 3 x 4.

    Still deciding about the last hourglass block, whether to make it an hourglass, if so changing the yellow to the same red as the constant star or ?????
