yes, as long as yyou have good contrast between your light and our medium. Do your HSTs with medium or light and 4-patch with the one - light or med - you didn't use. And dark will be next clue. but it might won't take a full 2 yards.

so i do the hst with light and medium ...I have good contrast. then the 4 patch with light and neutral still have good contrast. hope i've got that right. Thanks judy. stay safe on your travels

Angelia, for non-scrappy, use your neutral or light background that was used with the HST and for the 4-patch use a fabric that will contrast with the darker fabric in the HST. Clear as mud? Sorry. Guess I didn't explain very well. If you used a medium in the HST, use a lighter in the 4-patch - but the light needs to have contrast with the neutral.

RJ not sure how you did these 4-patch. I looked at your beautiful HSTs, but am confused about your patch. I am sending you a PM.

Sounds like my quilt is a lot like RJ's. I'm using white and red scraps. So I should have a light color for the 4 patches instead of the white again? I thought I was just going to do them the same but sounds like I'm not to do that. I'm having more problems with this one than I normally do. Thanks for all your help.

dd went back and looked at your HSTs, white and ass't reds. If it were me, I would use the white with red scraps, or use a solid red mwith the white, or an entirely a different color. And dont' forget you will need something for the last clues. .

I think we are all over thinking this ride. We,re making it tougher on ourselves than is necessary. lol. These mystery's are not this hard. If I can follow them ...... everyone can. lol I always have a minor problem then when I see a few clues others have made it finally sinks in. This ride we don't seem to have alot of pictures. Humm... Judy where is everyone with the pictures?

Lawsonmugs, I haven't started on clue 2 yet, but don't worry, I will post pictures! I agree, it is just simple units that we all make all the time. I am enjoying the mystery ride. I have a feeling this is going to be one happy scrappy quilt!

And I guess not many pictures because everyone is overthinking how to do the 4-patch!
